About Molly Lehman
Molly Lehman Amt built a steady legal path from undergraduate study to practice on the West Coast. She completed a bachelor’s degree at Duke University in 2009, then went on to earn her J.D. from the University of Minnesota Law School in 2013. Her academic record places her squarely within a generation of lawyers who moved quickly from law school into firm practice.
After graduating from Minnesota in 2013, Amt entered private practice. Her listed experience identifies her as an associate at Cooley Godward Kronish LLP, a firm where many early-career lawyers take on significant responsibility for client matters. The associate role at a firm of that scale typically involves collaboration on complex transactions and projects. Amt’s tenure there aligns with the period when many lawyers deepen substantive legal skills and courtroom or transaction experience.
Amt is admitted to practice in California. That jurisdiction has been the setting for her professional work, and it anchors the geographic scope of her legal activity. Practicing in California places lawyers before courts and regulators that handle a wide range of commercial, regulatory and civil matters, and it often means working on matters that cross state lines or involve national clients.
Her educational background spans two regions of the country. Duke University provided an undergraduate foundation, followed by professional legal training at the University of Minnesota Law School. Those institutions have different institutional cultures. For many lawyers, such a mix of experiences helps shape the approach they bring to firm practice — the way they research, write and present analysis for colleagues and clients.
Public records list her professional role succinctly. She is identified as an associate at Cooley Godward Kronish LLP and as a member of the California bar. There are no listed academic appointments or publicly noted judicial clerkships attached to her profile in the materials provided. The available information focuses on the basics of education, bar jurisdiction and firm affiliation rather than on a long list of cases or publications.
Through her work at Cooley Godward Kronish LLP, Amt practices in California as an associate, where she continues to handle matters arising under her firm responsibilities and bar admission.
