Amy Guzman, an attorney with a wealth of experience in various areas of the law, has made a name for herself in the field of legal operations for start-up companies. A graduate of the University of California-Berkeley and Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, Guzman has leveraged her expertise in general corporate law, employment law, contract negotiations, commercial real estate, policy and program development, and conflict resolution to help start-ups navigate complex negotiations and conflict management.

Guzman's skill set stretches beyond legal operations, and she is also an expert in regulatory compliance, public agency contracting, and various contracts including employment agreements, SaaS and licensing contracts, commercial leasing, and more. She is an adept project manager that can also develop relationships, drafting policies and programs while working alongside technology companies, law firms, and other sectors.

In her former position as VP, General Counsel (Legal and Compliance) at SOCi, Inc., Guzman honed her skills even more through the provision of legal direction on internal governance policies, the development of contract templates and playbooks, and negotiating complex, multi-jurisdictional commercial transactions for a thriving tech company. Prior to that role, Guzman worked with several other top-flight firms, including Lyft, Axiom, and salesforce.com, among others.
