 KATHRYN SHELTON
 Director At Large | Education Co-Chair
As a senior paralegal who has built a successful career path, Kathryn Shelton assists attorneys at Dorsey & Whitney LLP in the Corporate Governance & Compliance, Mergers & Acquisitions, Investment Funds, Investment Management and Capital Markets groups having developed the skills to master these areas of law in her years of experience working with some of the best lawyers in the market.  She has extensive experience in commercial transactions, private and public financings, corporate governance and compliance matters, fund investment and management, securities filings, as well as real estate matters.  Her years of past experience have given her a unique perspective as she has worked in-house supporting the general counsel and assisting the officers, directors and shareholders of a large petrochemical business, and has worked in smaller regional law firms.  Kathryn assists attorneys on matters ranging from basic entity formation needs for small and emerging companies, to due diligence and closings for multi-million dollar transactions, to assisting with investment, hedge and private equity fund closings, SEC compliance and filings, and assisting with fund management and investments for entities with over a billion dollars in annual revenues.  She is a responsive resource for her attorneys and their clients alike and enjoys being a valuable part of a top-tier legal team.
