She brings a broad and deep knowledge base to guide her clients through all phases of contracting processes, construction projects and legal procedures. Allison has advocated extensively for clients in government contracts litigation before the Boards of Contract Appeals (BCA) and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, as well as in bid protests before the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
