Alexis Irene Tahinci

In 2022, Alexis Irene Tahinci established her own law practice, bringing with her extensive experience from over seven years of working directly with a United States District Judge. During this period, she handled a wide range of lawsuits involving alleged unlawful employment actions, breaches of contract, and violations of both federal and state laws. Her role involved assisting with numerous motions and participating in dozens of trials, which enriched her understanding of these complex cases.

Earlier in her career, Alexis worked at a large firm in Pennsylvania and a medium-sized firm with offices in Tennessee and Virginia, where she represented employers and business entities. This diverse background provides her with unique insights when advocating for employees and individuals.

Alexis's personal experiences have significantly shaped her career. Witnessing her father's job loss just before retirement eligibility, she understood the emotional and financial impacts of employment loss. Additionally, experiencing sexual harassment early in her career gave her a personal perspective on the indignity and psychological harm caused by workplace discrimination and harassment. These experiences, coupled with her passion for civil rights, have directed her focus toward employment law and discrimination cases. She approaches each client with empathy and respect.

An accomplished academic, Alexis graduated second in her class from Penn State’s Dickinson School of Law, where she served as Managing Editor of the Penn State Law Review. She earned the highest grade in nine courses and was the top-ranked student on her campus. Before law school, she graduated first in her class from Hollins University.

Licensed to practice law in Virginia and Tennessee, Alexis is actively involved in professional organizations. She is a member of the Virginia Women Attorneys Association and the Tennessee Lawyers' Association for Women, where she has held various roles. Additionally, she serves on the Finance Committee for the regional YWCA.
