Allie Johnson-Davey

Modern Paralegal

Allie started at FGD in 2015 having been a star witness in a case we acted in. At paragraph 187 of that case, Watts J said in respect of Allie, “I did not find her evidence to be in any way unreliable.” We’d extend that sentiment to her work but would add that she is thorough, sensitive, intelligent and a great problem solver. Allie has worked in various roles during her time at FGD, including in management, and has been a senior paralegal since 2019.

Don’t let her affable personality and general good nature fool you; when required Allie is tenacious and assertive and clients have regularly commented on how dependable she was in a crisis. Allie is trained in collaboration and is passionate about using creative thinking to develop strategy and help her clients to reach outcomes that work for them. In a litigation context, she has particular expertise in case management and helping client’s to present their evidence within the complex family law system. You will be stoked to have her on your team, as are we.

Real Person

In one of her previous lives, Allie was a cheerleader for the Canberra Raiders. Currently, she is emersed in her ‘mum of small children era’ and doesn’t get the chance to absorb nearly enough sport unless it involves wrangling and entertaining toddlers. Most mornings she can be found cramming in a yoga flow amongst toys and mess but her day is always better for it.

She’s also our resident art and design guru, having completed most of a Bachelor of Art History before deciding that family law was her real calling. Now she is studying law, and if that + motherhood + work wasn’t enough of a figurative juggle she’s also teaching herself to literally juggle and is determined to master that skill by the time she turns 35.
