Amy Schwind counsels public and private companies, from large, multi-state employers to startups,  on a variety of employment law subjects. She works closely with the C-suite, human resources professionals, and general counsel across a range of industries, including financial services, hedge funds, technology, marketing, media, manufacturing, and life sciences, among others, advising on such issues as:

  • compliance with federal and state employment laws
  • leaves of absence and disability-related issues
  • hiring and recruiting
  • wage and hour issues
  • workforce decisions
  • worker classification
  • employee discipline
  • personnel policies
  • compliants of sexual and other types of harassment and discrimination
  • enforcing post-employment restrictions.


She represents companies in state and federal employment litigations, including claims of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, wage and hour, trade secret misappropriation, and restrictive covenant disputes.  She also routinely engages in alternative dispute resolution such as mediation and advocates for employers in investigations and matters before federal and state agencies.

Amy’s practice includes drafting employment agreements and documentation such as restrictive covenant agreements; offer letters; and separation and general release agreements.  She guides employers in the creation and implementation of effective and compliant employee handbooks and policies on such issues as leaves of absence, sick leave, parental leave, reasonable accommodation, and anti-harassment; and she develops employee training on discrimination and harassment prevention.  She also handles employment-related aspects of merger and acquisition transactions.

An active member of the firm’s pro bono program, Amy advises nonprofit organizations on HR-related issues and employment policies. She has advocated for clients in trial and appellate proceedings.  Amy is also a frequent contributor to trade publications, client newsletters, and podcasts regarding topics of interest for employers.
