According to Minnesota Lawyer, this year’s honorees “represent a wide range of practice areas spanning public service, nonprofit advocacy, private practice, and in-house counsel, while making a profound impact on their organizations, clients, and communities. Each has demonstrated leadership, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to advancing the next generation of women in law.”

Amy is also active in professional organizations such as the Hennepin County Bar Association and MNCREW. She has been honored by her peers in The Best Lawyers in America© for Commercial Finance and Real Estate Law, and she has been recognized as a Twin Cities Business “Notable Women in Law” honoree and “Real Estate Person of the Year” by Minnesota Real Estate Journal.
