Tara A. Walker

Attorney, Bernstein Shur |

Tara practices in all areas of labor and employment law, providing counsel and representation to employers throughout northern New England. As the former Legal & Policy Director of the ACLU of Alaska, Tara created and managed a full legal docket from scratch, while simultaneously creating and managing a lobbying program on the federal, state, and local levels as their chief lobbyist. She successfully defended against repeated attacks to repeal the state’s newly enacted criminal justice reform law, safeguarding over one million dollars in key funding for the state’s public defender agency. She now leverages these years of experience as a successful communicator to advocate on behalf of employers, whether she’s negotiating settlements or representing clients in trial or arbitration, Tara provides thoughtful, balanced advice—all while keeping the mission on its course.
