About Kate Boston
Kate Boston Melby built a steady legal career after completing law school in 2014. She combined an undergraduate education at Auburn University with three years of study at the University of Tennessee College of Law, then moved into practice in Tennessee. Her path shows a straightforward progression from classroom to client work.
She earned a B.A. from Auburn University in 2011 and a J.D. from the University of Tennessee College of Law in 2014. Those credentials placed her in the Tennessee legal community just as she was beginning to shape her professional interests. The law school years gave her exposure to state practice and an introduction to courtroom procedure and written advocacy.
Her professional affiliation is with Baker Associates. The firm appears on her resume as her current professional home. At Baker Associates she has handled matters arising under Tennessee law and has represented clients in a variety of settings. She maintains her practice within the state where she is licensed to practice.
Colleagues describe her approach as methodical and practical. She aims to identify what a client needs and then to assemble the options that will meet those needs. She splits time between preparation and appearance work, drafting documents and appearing for hearings when required. She also spends time counseling clients about the likely outcomes and the steps that follow each decision.
Her written work reflects the training she received in law school. Briefs, motions and client letters form a large part of her daily workload. She balances that with oral advocacy and negotiation. The mix of skills keeps her practice adaptable to shifting case demands and client priorities.
As of 2026 she is an attorney at Baker Associates practicing in Tennessee. Her current work at the firm covers a range of matters for clients across the state and includes representation, advice and transactional support in matters brought before Tennessee forums.
