About Taylor N.
Taylor N. Burras graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2007 and earned her J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law in 2011. She moved into legal work after an early stint in business development, a transition that exposed her to both client-facing and organizational challenges. At law school she took part in clinical work that brought practical experience alongside her coursework.
Her early legal roles included a law clerk position at the Children’s Law Center of Los Angeles in 2009 and a law clerk posting with Bay Area Legal Aid in 2010. That same year she served as a legal intern in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Summer Honors Program. In 2011 she is listed as a practicum associate for a New Business Counseling Practicum, and she joined Michelman & Robinson, LLP as a senior associate following graduation.
Burras’s career continued in private practice. In 2017 she began working at Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP. The listing of her roles shows movement between public interest work, a federal regulator internship, and positions in private firms. This range of experience has given her exposure to litigation and counseling settings, as well as to regulatory perspectives.
She is admitted to practice in California and before the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Her memberships include The State Bar of California, the American Bar Association and the Los Angeles Bar Association. She also belongs to the California Hotel & Lodging Association and the Global Alliance of Travel, Tourism, and Hospitality Lawyers, affiliations that connect her to lawyers and clients in the hospitality and travel sectors.
Colleagues describe Burras’s professional path as balanced between courtroom work and client counseling. Her resume shows familiarity with legal research, case preparation and transactional matters developed over more than a decade in the field. She has handled matters that draw on her early regulatory exposure as well as issues common to employers and businesses.
Today she practices at Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP. Her current practice centers on legal issues affecting the hospitality, travel and tourism industries.
