Bio
Mimi (Melissa) McNeil
I worked with Amy for six years for a Global fashion retailer. Amy was our General Counsel focused on employment law. Working with Amy was a highlight of my experience. Her ability to balance business sensibility with legal acumen to form solid opinions and well-rounded solutions, is second to none. Amy is collaborative, resourceful, and above all, kind. Anyone would be lucky to have her on their team!
Rhonda Allen
Amy is one of the most collaborative legal partners I have had in my career. She is a highly trusted thought partner and advisor to myself and my team. She thoughtfully considers the facts, presents a wide, strategic view and offers recommendations that balance the business needs with the people and cultural impact. Amy has had many complex, highly sensitive cases thrown her way and she always handles each with composure. Her deep international legal knowledge base, her business acumen along with her empathy and knowledge of people and culture combine to make her a tremendous asset.
