PRACTICE & FOCUS AREA

Hide

Amy is a corporate and real estate attorney with a focus on general business and transactions. Corporate client work involves the full scope of representation from formation to sale, including mergers and acquisitions, contracts, business counseling and corporate finance. Amy also represents real estate developers and businesses with real estate portfolios in acquisitions, sales, financings and leasing. A skilled negotiator and problem solver, Amy is motivated by helping clients achieve their goals, working through complex issues and mentoring the firm’s younger associates.

Before Davis Malm, she practiced in New Hampshire and worked as an assistant national bank examiner with the New York District Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Her role as a comptroller gave her the skills and insight to analyze contracts, facilitate banking matters, lending transactions and financial documents, and negotiate the best deals for her clients.
