Biography

Alyssa brings an instinct for advocacy to complex business disputes. Combining legal strategy with a creative, solutions-oriented approach, Alyssa believes effective lawyering begins with understanding her clients’ goals and concerns, enabling her to advocate for their interests with commitment and precision—whether representing large corporate clients, closely held businesses, or individuals.

Alyssa’s practice focuses primarily on trade secret and restrictive covenant litigation, while also encompassing trademark and other intellectual property matters, real estate litigation, and general business counseling. Prior to joining BFV, Alyssa was an Associate Attorney at an international law firm in New York City and gained experience through externships with the Northern District of Georgia, Federal Trade Commission, and ACLU of Georgia.

A graduate of Emory University School of Law (Honors), Alyssa earned regional and national moot court accolades in the Lefkowitz Trademark Competition and was inducted into The Order of Barristers. She holds an A.B. in English and A.B.J. in Entertainment and Media Studies from the University of Georgia and worked in Atlanta’s media industry before law school.

Outside the office, Alyssa enjoys Atlanta’s vibrant cultural offerings, from Atlanta Symphony Orchestra performances to Atlanta United matches, and is an avid pianist and guitarist.
