Sizemore is one of just two attorneys in the 2024 group, whose honorees were selected for achieving success for themselves and the region through their leadership and commitment to excellence. 

“Allison is an outstanding resource for many Pittsburgh employers, from the city’s long-established, giant corporations to its newest startups,” said Jason Hazelwood, office managing partner of the firm’s Pittsburgh office. “As an inspirational mentor for many young lawyers at Reed Smith and other regional firms, she’s already shaping the next generation of lawyers in this region and across our U.S. offices. We congratulate Allison for this well-deserved recognition.”

Award co-sponsor PUMP is a nonprofit that engages, educates and mobilizes young people to create change in the city.

A 2009 graduate of Duquesne University’s Thomas R. Kline School of Law in Pittsburgh, Sizemore is a resource for businesses seeking innovative employee benefits and executive compensation plans. Her client list is a “Who’s Who” of U.S. employers. 

In addition to her many contributions to Reed Smith and the legal profession, Sizemore is an active community leader. She currently serves as vice president of the Board of Allies for Children, a nonprofit that provides a bold voice for public policy and practice changes that improve the wellbeing of children region-wide. Sizemore also currently serves as president of the Board of Pittsburgh’s Manchester Youth Development Center, as well as on its executive committee. 

Since 1999, Pittsburgh Magazine and PUMP have recognized more than 900 high-performing, high-impact professionals. The 40 individuals under the age of 40 selected this year will be recognized at an annual awards event and profiled in the November print and digital editions of Pittsburgh Magazine.
