While serving in the Office of the General Counsel in the US House of Representatives, Kim developed deep experience in congressional investigations. She advised nearly all House committees on legal matters related to investigations and litigated congressional subpoena disputes, including In re Subpoena of James Comey (D.D.C.), Bean LLC d/b/a/ Fusion GPS v.

Drawing on her experience in the public and private sector, Kim provides insightful counsel to leading financial institutions on complex public policy challenges. From 2019 to 2021, Kim was chief counsel to SEC Chairman Jay Clayton, where she oversaw regulatory initiatives across all divisions of the SEC, including the issuance of more than 45 final rules. She also advised on significant legal and policy matters, including cross-border regulation, financial stability risks, major market events, and congressional inquiries. Kim also led advocacy and external engagement for a leading global asset management firm in the areas of financial stability, corporate governance, and regulatory frameworks impacting mutual funds.

Kim began her legal career in the litigation department of an international law firm in the New York and London offices, where she practiced for over a decade and advised clients on complex securities, compliance, antitrust, insurance, regulatory, and internal investigation matters.
