Graduating from Harvard, cum laude, in 1963 Allen then received his LLB from the University of Virginia in 1966, and became a member of the Massachusetts Bar in that year. During his service as the Acting Chief of the Legislative Relief Division of the Office of the Judge Advocate General, Army, in 1971 Allen earned an LLM (in Economic Regulation) from the George Washington University National Law Center in Washington, D.C., and in that year returned to private practice in Boston, as an associate specializing in anti-trust and general litigation with the firm of Goodwin, Proctor & Hoar, one of New England's most successful firms.
