Nicole D. Allen

Exceptional guidance through a complex workplace investigation

When our company faced a sensitive internal investigation involving allegations of harassment and potential retaliation, the situation felt overwhelming. We engaged Nicole Allen at Pettit Kohn based on her specific recognition in Litigation - Labor and Employment. From our first consultation in her San Francisco office, her command of California employment law was evident. Nicole meticulously guided our HR team and leadership through every step. She didn't just provide legal advice; she crafted a strategic, defensible process that protected the company while ensuring a fair and thorough investigation for all parties involved. Her foresight in anticipating regulatory pitfalls and potential litigation risks was invaluable. The matter was resolved internally without escalating to a public claim, which was our paramount goal. Nicole’s calm, professional demeanor and her deep expertise, underscored by her recognition from Best Lawyers, gave us immense confidence during a stressful period. We have since engaged her firm for proactive policy reviews. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any business navigating the complexities of the modern workplace.
