She often assists clients in resolving charges brought before state and federal agencies, including unfair labor practice charges before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and charges of discrimination brought before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Colorado Civil Rights Division (CCRD). Further, she regularly reviews, revises, and advises on employment policies and practices, personnel issues, and the legal implications of management decisions.
In each matter she handles, Amy listens carefully to what her clients want to achieve. Then she conducts the necessary research, analyzes potential options, and formulates a plan to achieve the desired result. A former clerk for two plaintiff-side employment firms and the EEOC, Amy possesses practical insight into how best to defend discrimination and retaliation claims. Prior to Sherman & Howard, Amy was an associate at a large labor and employment defense firm.
