Lacey Keys

Founder & Attorney

With over a decade of experience in the industry, Lacey founded Keys Law Corporation to bring together her substantial legal experience, pragmatism, and interest in technology to provide clients with high quality, effective, and exceptionally efficient legal and compliance services.

Lacey brings substantial experience representing nonprofit organizations, governmental entities, campaign committees, donors to campaigns, and private business entities to her practice at Keys Law Corporation. She has worked with some of the largest nonprofit and political organizations in the country, state and local government agencies, and smaller more specialized organizations. This breadth of experience informs her approach to advising clients engaged in the governmental and political process. It also helps her to ensure that services provided by Keys Law Corporation are valuable from the client’s perspective.

Prior to founding Keys Law Corporation, Lacey was a partner at Olson Remcho LLP (formerly Olson Hagel & Fishburn, LLP) where she worked her way from law clerk to partner, eventually overseeing the firm’s Compliance Reporting Unit. There she gained valuable experience working with a wide range of clients on cutting edge legal issues and all types of compliance services.

Currently, Lacey is Vice President of the California Political Attorneys Association (CPAA) and has been an active participant in the organization’s committees since 2009. She sits on the Stakeholder Input Group (SIG) providing feedback to the Secretary of State’s office on the Cal-Access Replacement System (CARS), which will be the system handling all state level lobbying and campaign finance filings in the future. She is a member of Women Lawyers of Sacramento and a contributing author to a number of publications, including the CEB Publication Advising California Nonprofit Corporations (Third Edition), the Alliance for Justice Publication California Campaign Finance Ballot Measure Guide, and the recent text A Practitioner’s Guide to Lobbying Advocacy in California (2020).

Sacramento Magazine honored Lacey as a 2021 Top Lawyer in her field based on nominations by her peers. This is the second time she has been so honored.

Lacey graduated cum laude from University of California, Hastings College of the Law where she was a leader for the Moot Court team and a member of the Hastings Law Journal. Prior to law school, Lacey graduated summa cum laude from the University of San Diego Honors Program with a B.A. in Political Science and Psychology.

When she is not advising clients and building content for Keys Law Corporation, Lacey can be found with her husband and daughter enjoying the outdoors, running, or reading.
