Few trial lawyers walk into a courtroom as prepared and with as much competitive zeal as Alison Ashmore. An accomplished business litigator known for her ability to craft compelling arguments and effective strategies, she is regularly called upon by clients in a wide range of industries when complex and consequential disputes arise.
While Alison relishes her time before judges and juries, she also recognizes that the optimal outcome in a given case often involves more nuance than "winning" and "losing."
With creativity and consideration of each client's specific objectives, culture, risk tolerance, and overall business interests, Alison develops tailored, holistic litigation approaches that account for the bigger picture along with the smallest details. Clients appreciate her candor and clarity, which allows them to make informed decisions about how best to proceed.
“Business owners need to have trust and confidence in their litigation counsel. That is a product not only of courtroom success but also candid advice that doesn't sugarcoat the risks or overstate the rewards.”
