About Taylor K.
Taylor K. Cashwell graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania and earned her J.D. from the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco in 2014. Her undergraduate honors signaled an early commitment to academic rigor. Law school sharpened that work into practical skills—legal research, careful writing and a readiness to tackle complex questions.
After law school she began her professional career in private practice. She is admitted to practice in California and has worked in a firm environment since graduating. Early years in practice often require a mix of tasks, from drafting pleadings and contracts to advising clients on procedural and substantive issues. Cashwell’s background places her in that milieu.
Her resume includes time at Fenwick & West LLP. At the firm she has taken on assignments that require attention to detail and an ability to move between legal analysis and client-facing work. Colleagues and clients typically expect clear explanations of legal options and careful handling of deadlines and filings. Those expectations guide the work attorneys do at firms like Fenwick, and they have shaped Cashwell’s approach.
In courtrooms and conference rooms, she has been involved in matters that call for steady judgment. That can mean preparing documents that distill complicated facts or coordinating with other lawyers to reach practical outcomes. Her experience reflects the routine demands of commercial practice, where legal and business considerations often intersect.
Clients and teams benefit from a practitioner who can switch between big-picture assessments and line-by-line drafting. Cashwell’s training and early professional years have reinforced that flexibility. She tends to approach problems methodically, outlining options and next steps so clients know what each choice will likely require.
Today she practices at Fenwick & West LLP in California. She continues to work on matters arising under California law and supports clients in the firm’s practice areas. She maintains an active role in client representation and legal problem-solving at the firm.
