About Alisa
Alisa Lachow-Thurston is an attorney who practices law and represents clients in a range of matters. Her work is grounded in clear thinking and practical problem solving. She works directly with clients to define goals and map out options. She prioritizes written clarity and steady advocacy in proceedings that require it.
She completed her legal education and earned a law degree before gaining admission to the bar. Early in her training she combined classroom study with practical clinics and internships that exposed her to both transactional work and contested proceedings. Those formative experiences shaped an approach that values preparation, thorough factual review, and direct communication with clients.
Over the course of her career she has handled matters in both private practice settings and roles that intersect with institutional or administrative environments. Her assignments have included drafting pleadings and agreements, conducting discovery, arguing motions, and negotiating resolutions. She has represented individual clients and organizational clients, adapting strategies to the particular risks and opportunities each case presents.
Her day-to-day practice covers both contentious and advisory work. She is comfortable taking a case to court when necessary and equally comfortable resolving issues through negotiation or other alternative dispute processes. She regularly prepares written advocacy, conducts witness preparation, and manages the procedural demands that complex matters often bring. Her colleagues describe her work product as methodical and precise, and she places emphasis on making legal positions accessible to the clients she represents.
Outside of courtroom hours she spends time refining legal memoranda and client-facing documents, and she pays careful attention to cost management and realistic timelines. She also mentors newer attorneys and paralegals when projects require coordinated team efforts. She balances advocacy with an attention to client resources and the practical realities that shape many legal decisions.
Her current practice centers on providing counsel and representation tailored to each client's needs. She continues to handle litigation and advisory matters and remains engaged in the procedural and strategic decisions each file demands. Her current practice focuses on providing counsel and representation in civil matters tailored to each client’s circumstances.
