About Kairi Smith
Kairi Smith Gure practices law in Kentucky and Georgia. She has built a career across public-interest offices and private practice, moving between frontline legal aid work and firm-based roles.
After completing her legal education, Gure began taking on clerkships and staff positions at nonprofit legal organizations. Early entries on her résumé include clerk roles at Bay Area Legal Aid in 2005, the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation in 2006, and the Georgia Justice Project in 2007. Those positions placed her in settings that emphasize direct client service, case intake and community-focused advocacy.
Her experience also includes a staff lawyer post at the Appalachian Research and Defense Fund of Kentucky in 2007. That role followed the series of clerkships and added responsibilities handling matters for communities in Kentucky. Records show she has also practiced as a solo lawyer; she operated as Kairi K. Smith, Lawyer at Law, in 2009. The solo stint gave her responsibility for case management, client counseling and courtroom appearances.
In 2010 she joined The Manely Firm, PC as an associate lawyer. That move brought her back into a firm environment where she worked alongside other litigators and handled a broader docket. Separately, she is listed as a partner at G. G. and Assoc. Law, PC beginning in 2005. Her work history includes roles across legal aid, nonprofit advocacy and private practice, reflecting a range of settings and responsibilities rather than a single career track.
Today, Gure is associated with G. G. and Assoc. Law, PC. She is licensed to practice in both Kentucky and Georgia and divides her professional time between those jurisdictions. Her practice combines experience gained at nonprofit legal organizations with the procedural work of firm practice, and she represents clients across matters in Kentucky and Georgia.
