Alison Plessman
Partner
Hueston Hennigan LLP
Alison Plessman has established herself as a top litigator, representing clients in high-stakes matters, including securities fraud, copyright infringement, wildfire litigation, trade secret theft, breach of contract and professional negligence matters, and white collar defense.
In June 2021, Plessman obtained a significant victory for her clients in the California Court of Appeal, when the Court of Appeal affirmed a trial court decision she secured in July 2020 granting a preliminary injunction against SweeGen, Inc. in favor of its minority shareholders in an action asserting derivative and direct claims alleging breaches of fiduciary duties, self-dealing, and securities fraud. A few months prior, in February 2021, she further defeated SweeGen’s demurrer on all grounds. Plessman also currently represents Pacific Power and PacifiCorp as lead counsel in seventeen wildfire matters, including a proposed class action involving more than 2,500 putative class members.
