Amber K. Dodds

A Strategic Partner in a Complex Employment Dispute

When our Austin-based tech company faced a high-stakes wrongful termination claim from a former executive, we needed counsel who was both a sharp litigator and a strategic advisor. Amber Dodds at Bracewell was exactly that. Her dual recognition in Labor and Employment Law - Management and Employment Litigation was immediately evident. She didn't just react to the lawsuit; she conducted a thorough internal investigation, helping us understand our vulnerabilities and strengths. Her analysis of Texas employment law and her clear guidance on litigation risks were invaluable. Throughout the discovery process, her preparation was meticulous, and her demeanor remained unflappably professional, even during contentious depositions. Amber’s strategy wasn't about dragging out a fight; it was about achieving the best possible outcome efficiently. She successfully negotiated a settlement that was far more favorable than we anticipated, protecting both our financial interests and our company's reputation. Her four years of focused experience in this niche, combined with her recognition by Best Lawyers, speaks to a depth of knowledge that belies her years in practice. We are profoundly grateful for her exceptional service and highly recommend her to any business navigating employment challenges.
