Christine Badillo joined the firm in 2004, shortly after receiving her law degree from the University of Texas. Since that time, she has focused her legal practice on the representation of school districts primarily in the areas of state and federal election law, school board governance, and employment matters. Christine became a shareholder with the firm in 2013, and the leader of the firm’s Austin office in 2015. Christine regularly advises school boards both on and off the dais, represents school districts in both state and federal employment proceedings, and is a frequent speaker on school law issues.
The daughter of a reading specialist and an Air Force Chief, Christine grew up attending public schools in Texas, Nebraska, Virginia, and Germany through the Department of Defense Dependents Schools. She is the proud mother of three boys, a dog, and a cat and lives with them in Austin.
