Kimberly Archie resides in Los Angeles, California, where she works as a retained legal consultant at Girardi Keese, the law firm made famous in the blockbuster movie, “Erin Brockovich.” She is the co-founder of the National Cheer Safety Foundation, Faces of CTE, and a leading expert on the prevention of child athlete maltreatment, a go-to expert often quoted in national and international media such as People magazine, CNN, Al Jazeera and the New York Times. Her legal work has been used to settle more than 50 sports injury lawsuits since 2008, including the NFL brain injury case, and Mehr v. U.S. Soccer, a settlement that removed headers for children ages 10 and under.

Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law in 2015, making sports history.
