About Kerri A. Salata, Legal Professional Corporation

Kerri A. Salata, Legal Professional Corporation is a Toronto based solo law practice run by lawyer Kerri A. Salata. The firm advises companies, particularly in banking and securities, on legal and regulatory compliance, blending legal training with design methods. Salata started the practice after completing an Executive LLM in Innovation, Law and Technology, where the coursework covered emerging sectors such as AI, crypto, and fintechs, and where an interest in legal design took hold. Before founding the firm, Salata spent more than 16 years in the banking and securities industries advising on legal and regulatory issues, managing global compliance teams and litigation across Canada.

The firm builds policies, procedures, fillable forms, and other governance documentation, along with illustrated and animated employee training videos meant to make legal and compliance obligations easier to follow. Clients include banks, securities firms, and credit unions, as well as corporations, in house legal and compliance groups, and other law firms. A BMO Financial Group employee ethics campaign that Salata led the strategic direction for won a 2021 Gold Telly Award for Employee Communication. Salata holds a Juris Doctor, is a member of the Ontario bar, and carries certificates in experience design and behavioural economics. The firm offers a free initial consultation, and a related but separate corporation, Comply With Me, provides banking and securities compliance training.
