“Amy is a results-oriented lawyer, who partners with her clients to understand all aspects of a problem, so she can collaborate on finding a solution. At the U.S. Digital Service, Amy embedded herself into the communications function, to untangle bureaucratic red tape and work within complex regulations, so that team could reach constituents and users in unique and creative ways. Amy's innovative approach to Federal contracting paved the way for USDS to develop and launch its first film, with a voice over by Steve Jobs.”

“Amy and I worked together on several launches during her time at Dropbox. She has a remarkable ability to digest product visions, see around corners to identify challenges, communicate them in language that even I could understand, and proactively identify solutions. Out of the many lawyers I've worked with, she's uniquely able to be an asset through all stages of the product development process.”
— TANAY MEHTA, FORMER DROPBOX
“Amy and I negotiated several agreements together while I was in strategic partnerships at Google. When I joined Sift Science, she was the lawyer I wanted to keep working with. Our deals were with early customers, very complex, and critical to the Sift’s early growth. She was a great partner. Her breadth of knowledge, aptitude for explaining legal nuances, and overall efficiency makes her the perfect outside counsel for any startup.”
