I have known Amy for a number of years and as a professional colleague, fellow board member, and friend. In addition to being kind, smart and driven, Amy is an excellent attorney and an inspiring entrepreneur. She consistently goes above and beyond in every endeavor and is an indispensible resource for guiding and strengthening the many businesses that she represents and others who are lucky enough to work with her.
I had the privilege of co-presenting with Amy Royal recently at a Western New England Law & Business Center Session. Amy addressed a group of small business owners about utilizing Massachusetts' three-pronged test to determine whether to hire people as employees or subcontractors. Amy did a phenomenal job! She presented what can be complex and dry information in an interesting and engaging way. Amy was a natural at interacting with participants. She also did a wonderful job ‘shooting from the hip' when asked tricky questions. Amy is articulate, knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend Amy to present for any group seeking more information about employment law. Brenda Wishart Director of Recruiting Aspen Square Management
Dear sir/madam, I am very pleased to have the opportunity to write on behalf of Amy Royal. Ms. Royal studied ancient Roman history with me while she was an undergraduate at Smith. She was then an excellent student and did fine work in class. Her written assignments in particular displayed mastery of the reading material as well as an analytical acumen. These qualities have since been further honed through her law school training and in the course of an already substantial legal career. Also, Amy is a warm and wonderful person and would be a joy to work with. I recommend her to you most warmly. With best wishes and sincere thanks for your kind attention, Richard Lim Professor of History Smith College rlim@smith.edu
