About Rahsaana
Biography
I founded my own practice in October 2010 after working as the General Counsel of a Los Angeles-based real estate development firm. I decided to take my big law firm experience, together with what I learned being in-house counsel for nearly 10 years at marquee companies, and start my own practice. Four years later, I have a team of 3, and we represent clients in a variety of industries on business formation, contract drafting, business transactions and real estate deals.
I was motivated to start my own firm because I knew I could add value to small and mid-sized companies within the real estate space as well as outside of real estate. I wanted to expand my client base and add a variety of transactions to keep it all interesting. With the experience and training I've had, I take pride in the fact that I am able to do so at a rate that is affordable to my clients but without sacrificing the quality of service.
I enjoy working with clients in many different industries – from real estate, to restaurants, to entertainment – but the common thread between all of our clients is that they are small to mid-sized businesses that regularly enter into contracts and/or they are taking on a deal outside their normal day-to-day business operations.

Rahsaana Alea Allen's Lawyer Endorsements
"Rahsaana and I are colleagues from our days starting out in the late '90's at the internationally-renowned law firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. Rahsaana has a diverse set of transactional skills arising out of her time as a big-firm lawyer and as an in-house counsel. If you want the value of a sophisticated and experienced lawyer for your real estate and other business transactions, without the high cost of paying for a lesser-experienced lawyer at a big firm, I recommend you contact Rahsaana at Nella Law Group."
"I endorse this lawyer. If I have a matter outside the scope of my ability, I will send it to Rahsaana."
"I have known Rahsaana since law school and worked with her on a number of matters. I've also referred her to my clients and my friends who need an excellent transactional lawyer. I have only the highest regards for Rahsaana and her business acumen. She is a thoughtful, intelligent, thorough and responsible lawyer. I recommend her highly!"
"Rahsaana truly is a "business lawyer." She understands her client's industry in terms of both the legal and business climate, and considers both when rendering legal advice. She keeps herself abreast of changes in other practice areas and industries that may affect her clients, in order to provide robust and well-rounded services. I highly recommend Rahsaana as a corporate lawyer for those clients seeking the highest level of professionalism and customer service."
"Rahsaana Allen is a hard-working, dedicated, and knowledgeable attorney who provides quality service to her clients. She is an expert in everything related to corporate transactions, business, and real estate matters. I have shared her insightful tips with friends and family alike, and always think of her first when I come across clients who have started their own businesses."
"I strongly endorse Rahsaana Allen due to her dedication to her practice and clients. Rahsaana is extremely knowledgeable about complex commercial and real estate transactions and prides herself on saving her clients from preventable future liabilities and exposure to unnecessary risks. She is uniquely qualified due to her detailed care and extensive experience in her specialized areas. You are in good hands with Rahsaana!"
