Katie Allen

Katie is a Managing Associate lawyer at MDR ONE, acting as a single point of contact for clients for their global employment law needs. She approaches problems with commercial thinking and pragmatism, but is also a friendly, approachable source of support for her clients.

Katie has provided employment legal advice in respect of 75+ countries worldwide and spent 9 months on secondment at our Singapore office, providing in-time-zone support to our clients in the Asia Pacific (“APAC”) region.

Katie also has experience of client secondments, where she worked in-house directly with key stakeholders, which has given her a greater appreciation of the priorities and challenges faced by in-house counsel and HR. Katie uses these learnings in her day-to-day practice to ensure the best client service.

Whilst Katie provides clients with the full spectrum of employment support, she mainly focuses on day-to-day HR matters, such as exits and employee relations issues, and advisory projects, including multi-jurisdiction restructuring.

Katie enjoys mentoring more junior members of the team and helping them reach their potential. She currently leads our trainee programme and is passionate about growing the future talent of MDR ONE.
