Kim, Lahey & Killough Law Firm Welcomes Max Young to the Firm

Kim, Lahey & Killough Law Firm has welcomed Max Young, a third-year student at the University of South Carolina Joseph F. Rice School of Law, who joins them as a legal extern this semester. A Lexington, Kentucky native and Indiana University alum, Young was drawn to South Carolina not only for the warm weather but also for the law school's growing emphasis on technology and innovation in the legal field, a focus that matches quite well with Kim, Lahey & Killough’s law practice.

Young brings hands-on experience from his work as a law clerk at the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, where he collaborated with the CISO and Assistant General Counsel on information security policies, and as a research assistant focusing on AI policy and its ethical implications under the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. He is eager to help the firm team produce practical insights on leveraging AI to enhance legal efficiency while maintaining ethical obligations like client confidentiality. 

When he's not researching data privacy regulations or analyzing AI governance frameworks, you might find Young traveling, hiking, celebrating Indiana University football with friends, or returning to his unique hobby of blacksmithing. Officials with the firm note they're excited to have Young's enthusiasm, technical knowledge, and fresh perspective as part of their firm this semester.
