The second half of the program will feature a moderated discussion with a panel of attorneys who have been proactive and intentional about creating law firm cultures that prioritize health and well-being for attorneys and staff.

Amy Boyle, Managing Partner, MSB Employment Justice
Amy Boyle is the Managing Partner at MSB Employment Justice in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After working in law firms, in 2021 Boyle and her partners founded MSB Employment Justice. Their motivation for starting a new firm was generated by a feeling there is a better way to serve clients compared to what the partners had experienced in the past working at other firms. This motivation translates to how Boyle and her partners run the law firm and manage their team. They take a non-traditional and “whole person” approach that benefits the firm, its employees, and their clients.
She handles all types of employment matters, with a particular focus on representing women who have experienced sex discrimination, sexual harassment and assault, and retaliation at work and whistleblower clients who have reported illegal workplace practices or companies engaged in deceitful conduct. Amy also represents clients who have found themselves in an untenable work situation, advising and negotiating severance agreements for executive-level employees often leaving long-term employment.
Boyle is the Chair of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Section and a Past Chair of the Younger Lawyers Division. A frequent speaker on the topics of employment law, discovery, trial, and diversity and inclusion, Boyle has organized and presented at many FBA events. Aside from her work with the FBA, Boyle is active with the Minnesota Women Lawyers, serving as a Board Member and the Co-Chair of its Judicial Initiative, and Minnesota NELA.

With over 20 years of experience, Krystal Lyons has served as trusted counsel to a broad range of clients in various industries and across a wide spectrum of practice areas, including general business, commercial litigation, eminent domain, municipal law, condominium and homeowners’ association law, appellate practice, and employment law matters.

She has supplemented her legal experience with formal academic experience by earning an Ed.D. in Organizational Leadership and becoming certified as a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. Before joining Stream Kim Hicks Wrage & Alfaro, Krystal was General Counsel & Director of Legal Services for the San Bernardino Superior Court where she served as legal advisor and in-house counsel for the court in performing a wide range of complex legal services and providing leadership and administrative oversight for the Legal Research Department.
