Spencer Fane LLP is pleased to announce Amy Knapp joined the Labor and Employment practice group as an of counsel attorney in the firm’s Denver office.
With a proven track record of representing Colorado companies, national employers, and international corporations in all aspects of employment and labor issues, Amy regularly reviews, revises, and advises on employment policies and practices, personnel issues, and the legal implications of management decisions in an effort to avoid litigious matters. However, she also regularly assists employers of all sizes in resolving claims brought before state and federal agencies and legal venues throughout the country.
Amy’s experience includes successful arguments in hearings related to 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). She also has developed a reputable track record of handling single-plaintiff and class and collective actions in federal and state courts arising from employment disputes, discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims, wage and hour issues, employment and other contract disputes, and alleged employment law violations.
“Amy’s unique combination of experience both in private practice and as in-house counsel along with an internship with the EEOC provides her with a wide-ranging legal perspective,” said Ron Fano, Office Managing Partner for Spencer Fane in Denver. “Amy will be a very valued addition to our office as she shares our commitment to collaborative legal services aimed towards the goal of being a proactive business partner of each client.”
Amy completed her undergraduate studies at Augustana College and earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Denver’s Sturm College of Law. While in law school, she spent three months as a legal intern for the EEOC’s Denver office.
