Alicia Clausen

Alicia represents clients in large-scale civil litigation, antitrust investigations, internal and government investigations, white collar criminal defense matters, and complex commercial disputes. She regularly employs her vast knowledge in discovery to provide defensible strategies while reducing time and costs for clients. Using her technical know-how, Alicia works with clients from a broad range of information-dependent industries, including health care, financial services, government contracting, education, and technology.

Alicia draws on her wide-ranging experience to help clients develop creative, effective solutions that address rapidly emerging issues in discovery. She has advised several large financial institutions on internal and external investigations of their employees’ personal communications as they related to compliance investigations launched by the Securities and Exchange Commission and IRS. Alicia has also advised a large health care investigation on its response to a Federal Trade Commission second request related to its simultaneous acquisition of multiple companies, collecting and analyzing millions of documents under very tight deadlines. Other recent matters include class action lawsuits, an internal compliance audit, and a multidistrict litigation.

Alicia also maintains an active pro bono practice, representing clients in civil, immigration, and criminal proceedings. Among other matters, she has represented a women’s rights activist from Afghanistan seeking asylum, a woman facing severe criminal charges for offenses she allegedly committed as a teenager, and a woman seeking a protective order against her abusive ex-partner. Alicia also contributed to an amicus brief that was referenced in a decision removing a county commissioner from office for his role in the Jan. 6 riot.
