Alisa B. Arnoff

Principal, Scalambrino & Arnoff, LLP

A Chicago native, Alisa Arnoff is a founding member of the Chicago law firm of Scalambrino & Arnoff, LLP, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year. Ms. Arnoff concentrates her practice in the areas of employment and labor law, representing privately and publicly held companies throughout the country. She has a keen interest in fire and emergency services, after an unexpected invitation to speak at Fire-Rescue International (FRI) in 2010 on a landmark United States Supreme Court case impacting firefighters. Since then, Alisa has spent much of her time providing training to various departments and at various fire/EMS conferences on personnel matters such as reducing discrimination, harassment, retaliation and bullying in fire/EMS; properly conducting investigations; introducing new company officers to the vagaries of employment law; and how to be an effective witness. Alisa also counsels firefighters throughout the country, particularly female firefighters, in connection with systemic issues that still impact fire/EMS.
