    Introduction

    Alicia Johnson-Ishman represents clients in a wide variety of disputes and litigation.

    Practice Areas

    Complex Disputes

    My focus

    My practice focuses on a variety of litigation matters, including complex litigation, contract disputes, class actions, and other consumer protection cases. I represent clients in various phases of litigation, from conducting in-depth legal research in connection with drafting memoranda for motions, appellate briefs, and depositions to negotiating settlements.

    Most recently, I served as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable Robert A. Richardson, a federal magistrate judge for the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. Prior to that, I served as a judicial law clerk for six senior judges in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in Washington, DC. During law school, I was a judicial intern for the Honorable Analisa Torres of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and a legal intern for the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York.

    Looking ahead

    As litigation becomes more complex and resource-intensive, clients must weigh options outside the courtroom. I see an increase in the use of alternative dispute resolution methods, including mediation and arbitration, as they allow for more creative solutions to disputes that better meet the needs of all parties.
