At McKean Smith, we’re proud to support a new generation of attorneys who are reshaping what it means to practice law. Attorneys Mary Talamantez and Sun Kim are leading that charge, bringing fresh perspective, adaptability, and a commitment to authenticity to every case they handle.
Mary, a core member of our Business and Employment Law team since 2023, and Sun, who joined our Oregon-based Family Law team in 2024, both entered law with a deep desire to make a difference. From overcoming assumptions based on their age and gender, to embracing legal technology and wellness as professional tools, these attorneys are challenging outdated norms and championing a more balanced and inclusive profession.
They credit mentorship, resilience, and a willingness to innovate as critical to their growth. Whether it’s using AI tools for drafting or finding community in affinity groups, they’re proof that the next generation of lawyers is building a smarter, more empathetic future.
“The law is not static,” Sun says. “It’s flexible, strategic, and full of possibility.”
