Data Privacy Attorney

Amy is a sophisticated data privacy attorney, specializing in the advanced mobility industry. Certified with CIPP/US credentials, she designs and implements comprehensive privacy compliance programs for companies of all sizes. Her expertise extends to advising major autonomous, electric, and connected vehicle companies on privacy matters, and navigating byzantine regulatory requirements to facilitate the development of innovative mobility ventures.

Amy also brings significant practical experience to the table, having served as lead privacy counsel during her secondment at a prominent electric vehicle manufacturer. In this capacity, she played a crucial role in shaping the organization’s privacy landscape and adeptly identified privacy implications in new business ventures.

In addition to her contributions in privacy and mobility, Amy provides advisory services in healthcare regulatory matters, focusing on entity organization, practitioner licensure, and HIPAA compliance.

Prior to law school, Amy served as a legislative assistant in the U.S. House of Representatives where she drafted a law that was enacted by President Obama in 2016 and advised on transportation, healthcare, tax, and budget legislation. She also worked in government relations on behalf of a cloud-based healthcare technology company in Boston, Massachusetts, on matters relating to data privacy and interoperability. She served as a summer associate at the American Enterprise Institute and interned at the U.S. Department of State.
