About Amy

I help companies comply with federal and state employment laws, assisting them with issues that arise from hiring to termination. I also defend employers when they are sued, focusing primarily on wage and hour class actions and employment discrimination and harassment lawsuits. I am licensed to practice in both Texas and California. I frequently speak regarding employment-related topics to clients and industry-groups, including for the Practising Law Institute and the Association of Corporate Counsel.
