Our Story
Amaryllis Sage was founded on the belief that principled, strategic legal advice can help institutions lead with integrity and purpose — even in the most complex and politically sensitive environments. Drawing from deep experience across international organizations, global governance, and justice systems, we saw a need for strategic advisory services that not only understand the law, but also the institutional, cultural, and geopolitical landscapes in which it operates.
Our work is grounded in a commitment to fairness, accountability, and clarity. We collaborate with clients who are navigating difficult questions - about power, policy, systems, and people - and we bring a steady, informed voice to help shape solutions that are both legally sound and practically meaningful.
