About Kristine M. Di
Kristine M. Di Bacco built a foundation in the liberal arts before moving into law and business. She earned a B.A. from the University of Western Ontario, completed a J.D. at McGill University, and later added an M.B.A. from Cornell University. That academic mix shaped a career that crosses legal and commercial boundaries.
Her admissions include the Province of Ontario, Canada, and California. She has experience at Fenwick & West LLP, where she worked alongside lawyers handling matters that often touch multiple legal systems. That time at a firm known for technology and corporate work exposed her to high-volume transactional environments and cross-border client needs.
Di Bacco’s training in both law and business informs how she approaches problems. The law degree provides the doctrinal tools. The M.B.A. adds a business lens and familiarity with corporate strategy and finance. Together they let her parse legal risks in the context of broader commercial objectives.
Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparing documents and deliberate in oral advocacy. She tends to favor clear, structured analysis and prefers solutions that are practical for clients. Her practice has involved coordinating with teams across time zones and legal cultures, reflecting the dual licensure she maintains.
Outside of firm responsibilities, she has engaged with networks that bring legal and business professionals together. That background supports advising clients who need counsel that understands both regulatory and commercial pressures. She has also advised on matters that require an ability to bridge legal systems, drawing on her education and her admissions in North America.
Today she continues to practice across Ontario and California. She handles matters for clients who operate in both jurisdictions and for those who need legal counsel that accounts for business realities and legal constraints.
