With a focus on appellate and high-stakes trial court issues, she represents companies, government institutions, campaigns, and individuals in their most complex and consequential legal matters.

She has successfully defended clients against investigations and proceedings brought by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the U.K. Serious Fraud Office. Her work on such matters often requires her to conduct confidential internal investigations for corporate clients, ranging from privately held firms to Fortune 500 public companies. Her clients rely on her judgment and deep knowledge investigating high-stakes issues involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), other antibribery laws, fraud, and employee misconduct. She has conducted on-the-ground investigations of these and other issues both domestically and abroad. In addition, Alexis has significant election and political law experience. She has litigated voting rights cases across the country, with a particular emphasis on Arizona elections.
