As Chair of the Employment Law Department, Ms. Amalfe manages 16 lawyers across three offices and oversees the legal, administrative, and business development functions for one of the firm’s most active practices, with clients among the world’s best-known companies. When she was appointed to this position at the age of 40, she became the firm’s youngest woman department chair. Ms. Amalfe ensures that the Department offers clients a variety of services beyond top-flight legal counsel, including seminars and speaking engagements; custom employment law training programs; a regularly produced newsletter; and, most recently, the Employment Law Alert blog.

Ms. Amalfe has been listed for many years in Best Lawyers in America for the New York area; New Jersey Super Lawyers; and Chambers USA Guide to America’s Leading Lawyers for Business.
