Allison L. Kahn

Allison maintains a substantial white-collar practice, representing corporations, executives, and individuals in criminal matters and government investigations. She conducts internal investigations, responds to government and regulatory inquiries, prepares clients for grand jury proceedings, defends clients in criminal proceedings, and guides them with discretion from the first inquiry through resolution.

Allison has extensive experience in the entertainment industry, where she advises clients on business disputes, defamation, copyright, trade secret, false advertising, and trademark matters. She represents prominent public figures in both courtroom and out-of-court disputes, counseling them on protecting their privacy and their name, image, and likeness rights. Building on that focus, Allison frequently serves as the litigator on music deals, bringing a deal-table perspective that anticipates and mitigates risk before it ripens into a dispute and positions clients to protect their interests if one arises. 

Allison leads the Los Angeles office’s pro bono guardianship program and maintains an active pro bono practice, including domestic violence restraining orders.
