Khari E. Taustin

Ms. Taustin took her first riding lesson at the age of four, and ever since, her passion has been for equine sports and horses. Today, Khari works in equine law and immigration and is bringing her education, experience, and passion into her legal practice.

Khari provides representation in equine-related matters. Khari counsels on purchase-sale agreements, lease agreements, liability waivers, board and training agreements, business entity
formation and other related matters.

Additionally, Khari’s focus is on immigration and non-immigration visas for accomplished horsemen and clients of all equine sports. Khari’s own personal knowledge of the horse sports will set her apart from most lawyers.  As a rider and competitor for many years herself, she understands the complexities and intricacies of the knowledge-base that top athletes need in order to be successful in their sport. Khari has the aptitude to communicate and translate this multi-faceted skill-set of accomplished horsemen and their support teams into terms that non-equine enthusiasts can relate.

Khari is familiar with the international nature of today’s competition, and understands the significance that navigating immigration law has to the operation of all equine industries globally. By focusing on the needs of riders, trainers, managers, and the support staff that are integral to the top levels of the horse industry, Khari makes her own contribution to both the legal field and the sport for which she is most passionate.
