My Story

She joined LK Taylor & Associates as an extern and has since become an integral part of the firm's transactional practice, working on recording agreements, producer agreements, distribution negotiations, catalogue sales and high stakes label negotiations.
Before law school, Kristi was recruited by Google’s IP legal department due to her demonstrated interest in intellectual property protection.
