Allison Scollar, a consultant in sustainable energy based in New York, collaborates with developers and municipal agencies to promote eco-friendly initiatives. Transitioning from her previous role as a successful real estate attorney, she now focuses on nonprofit work, driven by a personal custody battle over her daughter. She plays a crucial role at the RETI Center, where she aids low-income communities in accessing green jobs.
Earlier in her career, Allison was a partner at Gold Scollar Moshan, where she managed numerous real estate transactions and provided legal support to the arts community, helping to bolster New York's cultural sector. Her difficult custody battle, which highlighted significant issues in the family court system, particularly affecting LGBTQ+ and adoptive parents, inspired her advocacy work.
Allison serves on PowerPlay NYC and Pen Parenti boards, organizations dedicated to empowering young girls and supporting parent-writers. An avid hiker and boxer, Allison also devotes time to philanthropy, volunteering with God's Love We Deliver.
Allison is excited about the upcoming release of her book, In Her Best Interests: How Family Court Destroyed Our Family (And How You Can Keep It From Destroying Yours), offering practical advice and support to those facing family court challenges.
