Allison’s diverse legal background has served to form the broad foundation that supports her approach with her clients. She moved to The Hague immediately after graduating from law school to clerk with the Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. Upon her return to California, she joined a large San Francisco litigation law firm, where she initially began representing Bay Area businesses. Her years litigating proved to be invaluable. It was through this experience that caused Allison to refocus her practice around proactive, strategic legal counseling.

Allison earned her B.A. from Western Michigan University in 2002, and her J.D. from Santa Clara University School of Law in 2006. While in law school, she was a member of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Team, the Pace International Law Moot Court Team, and the Santa Clara Trial Team.
