Kari M. Kelly

Partner

Rosenberg Martin Greenberg LLP

Kari M. Kelly credits her ability to make partner in a law firm by 35, even while working a reduced schedule to devote more time to her two young children, to her time management skills.

“I am organized and diligent, with sound judgment, which enables me to efficiently and effectively represent my clients while still being active and present in the lives of my children,” Kelly said. “I also remind myself daily of how lucky I am to be doing something I love, surrounded by people that I love.”

Kelly earned her law degree at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law in 2004. After a stint at Niles Barton & Wilmer, the Pennsylvania native went to work for Rosenberg Martin Greenberg, a business law firm in Baltimore, in 2006. She was named a partner in July 2014.

Away from work, Kelly is a parent volunteer at the Bryn Mawr School and a youth lacrosse coach for the Towson Recreation Council.

Her ability to juggle her law career and motherhood, Kelly said, should encourage young mothers to stick with their careers – “which can only be seen as a positive for the legal profession and our society as a whole.”
