About Alison Yearsley

The experience of a seasoned attorney. The flexibility you need.

Alison Yearsley is a senior attorney with extensive experience spanning commercial transactions, complex civil litigation, appeals, and in-house counsel leadership across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Her in-house experience includes serving as primary legal counsel for commercial transactions — drafting, reviewing, and negotiating MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, NDAs, and vendor agreements — while advising leadership on compliance, privacy, and security issues.

Through Yearsley Law, Alison brings that same caliber of in-house counsel to growing tech companies that need strategic legal guidance without the cost of a full-time hire.

Commercial Transactions
Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating MSAs, SaaS subscription agreements, SOWs, vendor contracts, and partnership agreements. Protect your deal economics and limit your exposure.

Free Consultation
We meet to understand your business, your current legal needs, and your growth trajectory. No obligation, no pitch — just an honest conversation.
02
Tailored Engagement
We define a monthly retainer scope that matches what you actually need — from contract support to embedded counsel for larger teams.
03
Ongoing Counsel
I work alongside your team — reviewing agreements, advising on risk, and handling legal questions as they arise, just like an in-house GC.

Scale as You Grow
Your legal needs evolve. Your retainer can too. Adjust scope up or down as your deal volume, headcount, or complexity changes.
