Brandi Taylor is a founding partner of the firm’s San Francisco office and the firm’s West Coast Technology and Data Lead.
With over 15 years of experience, Brandi is a trusted advisor in regulatory and compliance matters for Fortune 50 tech companies to tech start-ups. She has a reputation for delivering practical, business-oriented guidance in complex and evolving legal environments. She partners closely with clients to interpret regulatory frameworks, assess risk, and develop forward-looking strategies that align legal obligations with operational realities. She advises her clients on the entire product development lifecycle, including compliance with a range of requirements in AI, data privacy, online safety, youth, intellectual property, and commercial agreements.
Brandi’s practice focuses on advisory work at the intersection of law, policy, and business—where nuance, judgment, and context are critical. She regularly counsels organizations on regulatory change, governance, compliance program design, and issue management, helping clients anticipate challenges rather than react to them.
Recognizing the increasing role of technology in the legal landscape, Brandi integrates data-driven insights and emerging tools into her practice while maintaining a strong emphasis on critical thinking, ethical judgment, and clear communication. She is particularly valued for the ability to translate new and complex regulatory requirements into actionable guidance for both legal and non-legal stakeholders.
Clients rely on Brandi not just for legal analysis, but for sound judgment, responsiveness, and a steady, solutions-oriented approach in high-stakes situations.
