Amanda B. Clayman

Skilled and pragmatic guidance through a complex business dispute

I engaged Amanda Clayman at Katz & Stefani to handle a contentious partnership dissolution for my small Chicago-based design firm. With ten years of broad experience, she demonstrated a keen understanding of the intersecting legal issues, from untangling our operating agreement to advising on potential employment implications. Her general practice background was a real asset; she didn't view the case through a single narrow lens but considered the whole picture, which was crucial for a clean resolution. Amanda was consistently prepared, articulate in negotiations, and provided clear, strategic options rather than just legal theory. The outcome protected my interests and allowed the business to move forward. My only slight critique is that during the busiest periods, email responses could sometimes take a full business day. That said, when we were in active negotiations or drafting, her attention was immediate and thorough. I would confidently recommend her for Chicago-area business owners facing multifaceted legal challenges.
