About Allison L.
Allison L. Harrison earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sport Management from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2007. She went on to complete her Juris Doctor at Capital University Law School in 2010. Those formative academic years combined an interest in organizational matters with training in the law.
Her early career moved quickly into roles that connected legal work to industry operations. In 2010 she joined the Michigan Automobile Dealers Association as Director of Legal Affairs. The position placed her inside the regulatory and commercial concerns of auto dealers, where she handled policy, compliance, and transactional matters that affect franchised dealerships. In 2012 she entered private practice as an associate at MacMurray Petersen and Shuster LLP, where she worked on a range of litigation and advisory matters.
Harrison’s professional memberships reflect the mix of work she has taken on. She has been a member of the National Association of Dealer Counsel since 2012, a network that serves lawyers working for and with auto dealers. Since 2020 she has been active in the Ohio State Bar Association and in the Columbus Bar Association, where she serves as chair of the LGBT Committee. Those roles have put her in regular contact with peers on both bar governance and community-focused issues.
Colleagues describe her as pragmatic and methodical in handling client problems. In private and association roles she has balanced regulatory review, contract drafting, and dispute resolution. Her time at an industry association gave her particular exposure to statutory and administrative questions that affect retail auto operations. In private practice she added courtroom and negotiation experience to that regulatory background.
Harrison now operates her own firm, Allison L. Harrison Law, LLC. She represents clients across her admitted jurisdictions of Michigan and Ohio. Her practice handles matters that overlap commercial, regulatory, and employment concerns for businesses and trade organizations.
She chairs the Columbus Bar Association’s LGBT Committee while maintaining her membership in state and national professional groups. Her professional path reflects steady movement between industry-side legal work and private practice. Her current practice focuses on legal issues affecting automobile dealers, commercial clients, and related regulatory matters.
