About Ally
As an attorney in the firm’s New York office, Alexandra is part of our Labor and Employment practice group. She counsels and represents employers on a wide array of employment issues including wage and hour, tort, discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Alexandra has represented employers in federal and state court in cases alleging violations of Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act as well as claims related to trade secret misappropriation, breach of fiduciary duty, and other torts in the employment context. She has successfully resolved cases at mediation, on motions to dismiss and for summary judgment, and obtained favorable rulings on appeals. Outside of litigation, she has counseled clients on compliance with federal, state, and local laws covering employment and business practices including drafting updated employee handbooks and assisting with employee terminations. Alexandra believes that there is no one size fits all approach to the law and every client deserves an attorney who will take a holistic approach to their representation, while appreciating the intricacies of the employment sphere.
Before joining MHS, Alexandra represented individuals and businesses in the prosecution and defense of employment and commercial matters. She also represented individuals and businesses in a variety of cases involving torts, civil rights, criminal allegations, and other statutory and constitutional claims.
