New Frame Legal

Skye David first got her start in politics in high school during her junior and senior years when she served as the chairperson of the Illinois State Board of Education’s Student Advisory Committee.   In this role, Skye was a member of the State Board of Education and worked on an important legislative project that eventually became the law in Illinois.   From that point forward, Skye was hooked on politics and policy.
Skye went on to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she served on the Student Council as well as the Educational Policy Committee for the College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences.  In addition to earning academic accolades, Skye remained active in college life while working her way through school.  Skye's academic work on domestic violence led to an Orville Bentley Undergraduate Research Award for her work and served as the foundation of her future work at the North Carolina General Assembly. 
In law school at UNC-Chapel Hill, Skye remained passionate about policy and domestic violence, and took her desire to shape public policy to the legislature as an intern for a lobbyist who was once a graduate school intern of New Frame partner Brian Lewis in 2007-2008.   In addition to Skye's generous pro bono work to those in need, she also earned the Steve Smith Aspiring Activist Award for her domestic violence work.  
At New Frame, Skye will work on policy, legal and regulatory issues affecting all the firm's clients, with a focus on the policy and lobbying needs of the North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault, the firm’s most recent client addition in the 2017 legislative session. 
In Skye's free time, she serves on the Board of Directors for the Coalition Against Domestic Violence, as well as volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters. She serves on the NC Bar Association's Government and Public Sector Council, and volunteers with the Lawyers Read Program weekly.
