McDonald Hopkins welcomes attorney Allison Cronin to the Litigation Department and the Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice Group. Her practice focuses on incident response, pre-breach services, and regulatory defense.
“I am excited to work alongside attorneys who are leaders in a dynamic and rapidly expanding area of law, while representing clients across a wide range of industries. I am especially looking forward to contributing to a practice that is helping shape how businesses respond to the legal implications of emerging technology,” she noted.
Allison said it was McDonald Hopkins’ reputation in the field that solidified it as her destination firm.
“The firm’s outstanding reputation stood out, but also its collaborative, supportive culture. From my first conversations with the attorneys here, it was clear that the team values mentorship and brings together attorneys with diverse subject matter expertise to provide exceptional client service.”
Allison has a background spanning legal technology, artificial intelligence, and real estate law. She began her career as a Legal Technology Consultant at a global technology company, where she partnered with law firms and corporate legal departments to implement technology-driven solutions. She also worked as a Legal AI Trainer, training and evaluating artificial intelligence models to improve their performance on legal tasks. This role gave her unique, hands-on experience with emerging technologies and the evolving intersection of AI and the law. Prior to joining McDonald Hopkins, she practiced at a title company and its affiliated law firm, where she advised clients on a broad range of real estate and title matters.
“Allison is a great addition to our team, and we're excited to have her on board," said Dominic Paluzzi, Co-Chair of McDonald Hopkins' national Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice Group.
