Background & History

Katherine L. Taylor is the founder of Taylor Legal. Her law firm represents business owners and property owners in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area.

Katherine’s legal career began at Whiteford, Taylor and Preston in the Commercial Litigation Department of the Baltimore Law Firm. She eventually left Big Law to work in Howard County as a Senior Assistant County Solicitor where she spent 10 years representing Howard County government agencies, boards, and departments.

In 2004, Katherine started Taylor Legal, where she continues to enjoy working with business owners to help them protect the businesses they created. The legal foundations of a business need to be solid, and the transactional agreements need to be sound. Katherine helps ensure that all fit together with additional help from her background as a Certified Public Accountant.

Katherine is an adjunct professor in the Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurship Clinic at University of Maryland Frances King Carey School of Law. Katherine is a frequent instructor for the National Business Institute, an organization that provides CLE credits for lawyers and CPAs.
