Her practice includes defending claims involving federal and state privacy statutes, including the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, Stored Communications Act, Video Privacy Protection Act, California Invasion of Privacy Act, Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, and Automated License Plate Reader laws, as well as related statutory and common law claims.

She also managed significant bet-the-company litigation and regulatory investigations as head of commercial litigation at Coinbase. These in-house roles give her a practical understanding of business risk tolerance, operational constraints, and the need to make fast, informed decisions.

Before her in-house roles, Amanda was a litigation partner at a global law firm, where she defended a Fortune 10 technology company in multiple privacy class actions, including early litigation involving voice-activated technology.
