Alexis M. Way

Alexis assists a diverse range of clients in all aspects of commercial litigation, from counseling and initial pleadings to appeals. Alexis handles a variety of litigation matters, including breach of contract, such as breaches involving the failure to close in real estate actions, failure to provide services agreed upon, and failure to pay for services rendered; civil rights litigation, including actions against state employees and municipalities/counties under Section 1983; labor and employment litigation, such as actions against employers involving claims of disability, gender, age, and race discrimination, as well as retaliation claims and claims alleging violations of CEPA, RICO, and the New Jersey Civil Rights Act; landlord/tenant matters, such as representing landlords in eviction actions and negotiating repayment of rent; and collections cases, including representing digital/forensics consulting firm in action to collect payment for services rendered and securing final judgment by default, and representing commercial client through post-judgment motions maintaining nearly one million dollar judgment.

Alexis leaves no stone unturned in order to help her clients succeed. She strives to give her clients the information they need to understand clearly the various available paths forward, and with her help, to choose the best one based on their particular needs and goals. As a first-generation lawyer, Alexis approaches her client matters with an open mind and fresh thinking. Through her clerkships, she has gained a unique perspective on how some judges and clerks think and what type of writing/arguments may help to be more persuasive. Alexis finds she is able to make an impact through the seemingly small details by filtering through the data in search of the key pieces of evidence.

Prior to joining Archer, Alexis served as a law clerk for the Honorable Michael J. Haas of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, followed by a clerkship for the Honorable Faustino J. Fernandez-Vina of the New Jersey Supreme Court. In law school, Alexis served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Rutgers University Law Review.
