My clients are facing significant risks. They need a lawyer who knows what she’s doing and can resolve cases quickly. When clients come to me with a claim to defend, I'm very aggressive up front. First, I’ll work with the general counsel and risk manager to determine if an early resolution is their best option. If not, we'll lay out a strategy to defend the claim to prevail in court.

Ally Byrd helps her clients resolve complex liability litigation, often involving significant financial and reputational risk. As a tenacious litigator committed to minimizing the cost and disruption of trials for her clients, she handles products liability and mass tort lawsuits alleging economic loss, product defects, and personal injuries, and defends premises liability, workplace injury, and workers’ compensation claims, as well as employment litigation.

With extensive experience advising companies on risk management issues and proposing timely and practical solutions to limit their liabilities, Ally acts as coordinating counsel for multiple national corporations.

Clients appreciate the positive and creative energy Ally brings to every case. They seek her guidance on developing and implementing effective safety policies. And they rely on her extensive litigation experience to get cases closed early.

A trusted voice on liability litigation, Ally regularly presents to in-house attorneys, third-party administrators, and insurance carriers on risk management, defense litigation tactics, and other issues at national trade and industry association conferences.
