Armstrong Teasdale is continuing to grow its presence in Salt Lake City, Utah, with the addition of attorney Kristin Baughman. A member of the firm’s Financial and Real Estate Services practice group, Baughman has more than a decade of experience in commercial litigation and appeals.

In April, Armstrong Teasdale announced its intention to establish a full-service office in Salt Lake City with the addition of several other attorneys in the market.

“We are thrilled about the growth opportunities for the firm in Salt Lake City, and Kristin is a perfect example of the high-caliber talent we are looking for,” said Partner Michael Gehret. “Her broad experience will be crucial to serving clients in the region, and we look forward to witnessing her future successes as a part of our team.”

Baughman’s practice spans a wide range of skill sets, including counseling clients in complex commercial litigation, intellectual property litigation, commercial loan restructuring and receiverships, and real estate litigation.

“From the first conversation I had with the firm, the culture really made an impact on me,” said Baughman. “Knowing that I have the backing of the firm to grow my practice, while also caring for my growing family is so important, especially as we adjust to the new normal. Armstrong Teasdale truly appreciates that balance.”

In addition to Salt Lake City, the firm opened a Boston office earlier this year, further bolstering its presence coast to coast.
