Amanda Taylor is a partner at Barrett | Matura, and has extensive experience handling complex insurance coverage, employment litigation, construction defect, contract issues, and general civil litigation.  Amanda’s insurance coverage practice involves representing insurance companies in defense of insurance bad faith claims.  She works tirelessly to protect and advocate for her clients.  Amanda’s most recent trial resulted in a defense verdict as well as an award of attorneys’ fees and costs for her insurance company client.

In addition to insurance coverage litigation, a significant portion of Amanda’s practice includes employment litigation.  She defends and represents municipalities and their agents from discrimination-based claims.  Amanda may become involved in the employment claims as early as the administrative claim phase or once litigation has been filed.  She has aggressively represented her clients at mediation, arbitration, trial, state and federal Courts of Appeals, as well as the Arizona Supreme Court.

Amanda takes great pride in cultivating relationships with not only her clients, but also with experts, co-counsel, and others in the legal field.  As a result, Amanda is highly regarded within the legal community.  Amanda is honored to be recognized by Southwest Super Lawyers as a Rising Star in the field of insurance coverage continuously since 2014.

In her free time, Amanda enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and dancing.
