Biography

Amanda Lockaby is currently the Co-Managing Partner at Lockaby PLLC and was formerly a partner at an AmLaw 200 firm. She has extensive experience defending personal injury and product liability claims, including the successful defense of complex multi-district litigation, on behalf of businesses of all sizes, including product designers and manufacturers, long-term care providers, national retailers, and utility contractors. Amanda also defends employers against all kinds of discrimination, retaliation, harassment, and wage-and-hour actions and provides day-to-day HR and contract counsel to owners, business unit leaders, and human resources professionals. She also has experience handling commercial litigation and medical staffing matters for hospitals, both at the internal peer review level and in court.

For the past 10 years, Amanda has been named a Kentucky Super Lawyers "Rising Star," a distinction recognized for only 2.5% of Kentucky lawyers under the age of 40. She received her B.A. from Centre College in 2006 and J.D., summa cum laude, from Northern Kentucky University's Chase College of Law in 2009, where she was the Kentucky Survey Editor of the Northern Kentucky Law Review.
