Allyson Marta is based in Fasken's Toronto office and focuses on pensions and benefits in corporate transactions, creditor/debtor agreements and restructurings and insolvencies. She advises clients in public and private sectors on pension plan compliance, governance, investments and administration.

I enjoy working with Allyson. She is able to go deep into the subject matter and find different ways to achieve our goals.

Allyson is very personable and great to work with.

Her biggest strength is her ability to communicate in a way which takes into consideration employer sensitivities with respect to business and politics.
