Allison M. Day

Ms. Day is an experienced case manager who handles complex civil litigation for technology companies, regulated industries and higher education institutions.

For her clients in the technology industry, she focuses on complex contract disputes. She provides pre-litigation advice and manages all aspects of fast-paced litigation in this area. Through this work, she has significant experience translating complex transactions and expert opinions into clear narratives for presentation to judges and juries.

In the regulated industries space, Ms. Day concentrates on the unique challenges faced in the transportation and energy sectors. She has experience representing those clients at the trial and appellate levels in both federal and state court.  Her work in this area often involves writing briefs addressing complex regulatory schemes and legal issues.

Ms. Day’s work for higher education clients is on litigation related to admission practices. She has represented The Regents of the University of California in defending against multiple state court actions and recently drafted an amicus brief for the President and Chancellors of the University of California  that was submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court opposing a challenge to the consideration of race as a factor in university admissions. Ms. Day has also presented on the impact of the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision on that issue, appearing on a panel before the National Association for Law Placement.

Before attending law school, Ms. Day taught high school math in Washington, D.C., as part of the Teach For America program. Her pro bono practice reflects her ongoing commitment to students and immigrant communities, including representing Native American students seeking access to adequate public education and a detained individual seeking immigration relief in appellate and habeas proceedings. She is also a member of the advisory board for OneJustice.

Prior to joining the firm, Ms. Day served as a law clerk to Judge Susan L. Carney of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and Judge Carol Bagley Amon of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
