Allison Pino
@allisonpino
Licensed attorney and legal operations leader who builds compliance workflows that improve throughput and quality.
What I'm looking for
I’m a licensed attorney and operations leader with five years of experience building and running high-volume legal and regulatory functions. I’ve earned a track record of standing up new departments from the ground up—designing systems, technology-enabled workflows, and standard operating procedures that measurably improve throughput and quality.
In my current role as a Senior Attorney, I serve as a reviewing and signing attorney on complex federal petitions and oversee attorney review across 3,000+ clients. I built the firm’s Request for Evidence (RFE) and Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) response function from the ground up, created quality-control protocols, trained staff to run the lane independently, and reduced a review backlog from nearly 400 cases to under 100 in a single quarter.
I also lead cross-functional teams and bring “systems thinking” to legal work—supervising 6 senior paralegals, 4 paralegals, and 10+ interviewers, and deploying case-management systems and AI-assisted workflows to improve pipeline visibility, task tracking, and production quality. I’m hands-on with statutory, regulatory, and policy analysis, drafting complex written responses and internal strategy memoranda, and I joined firm management in 2025 to contribute to firm-wide operational restructuring and quality standards.
