Professor Allison Madwatkins started her career in New York at the boutique law firm of Cohn & Roth until a corporate client insisted she come work directly for them in California. She has been on the West Coast ever since. Over the years she has continued to work in both the firm and corporate setting practicing, banking, default servicing, residential and commercial real estate, bankruptcy, corporate, and contract law. Her specialty is putting the unquantifiable into auditable corporate policy and procedures.
