Allison Sizemore
Partner, Reed Smith LLP

Allison Sizemore always dreamed of becoming a lawyer, but she never expected to be one of the best in her field in her city’s largest law firm by age 39. Sizemore is a partner at Reed Smith LLP and specializes in employee benefits, taxation and executive compensation. Through Reed Smith, she has worked with several Pittsburgh powerhouse companies, donates her time to training the next generation of lawyers and participates in the firm’s Women’s Initiative Network and DEI teams.

Her mix of counseling and transactional work and her capability to forge strong and lasting connections with her clients sets her apart in her field. Sizemore also has a passion for her community’s youth — she currently serves as the board vice president of Allies for Children and chairs the board of directors for the Manchester Youth Development Center.
