Ameena Y.Majid

As the firm’s Impact & Sustainability Partner, Ameena set forth a vision that environmental sustainability is fundamentally about our overall well-being, with dimensions touching an impact compass of clients, people, planet, and pro bono/community. To bring this vision to life, she works across internal teams and in response to clients to develop communication and engagement strategies, ensure compliance with evolving laws, inform an impact and environmental roadmap, and catalyze operational changes at both local and firmwide levels. Ameena guides clients on disclosure strategies keyed to business objectives and stakeholder engagement to support practical approaches that integrate sustainability into governance, operations, and reporting.

Her employee benefits practice spans fiduciary governance, executive compensation and retirement plans, with experience in plan design, mergers, transitions, and compliance. She regularly advises on fiduciary responsibilities, operational issues, and regulatory requirements affecting pension, 401(k), and executive compensation plans. Ameena’s technical foundation across ERISA, tax, and securities law enables her to deliver precise, practical counsel on both strategic plan design and day-to-day administration.

In addition to her client work, Ameena served as an advisory board member and is an impact investor with Able Made PBC, a soccer-inspired, sustainable fashion brand. This role gave her first-hand insight into creating a mission-driven business focused on weaving sustainability into all facets of the business model with a long-term focus.

Ameena is pragmatic and focused on helping clients reach the best possible outcome by unpacking adaptive challenges through an understanding of core underlying drivers and tensions. She focuses on what moves her clients forward, avoiding unnecessary complexity while ensuring nothing critical is overlooked. She develops creative, practical roadmaps toward outcomes that may not be obvious at the outset and adapts them to fit the unique dynamics of each client and stakeholder group. Her work across highly regulated industries has made her adept at learning new business models, understanding technical issues, and communicating effectively with diverse personalities and priorities.
