A new law clerk has joined Kistemaker Business Law Group in Ormond Beach.
Mackenzie Allen, a participant in Kistemaker Business Law Group’s Summer Internship program in 2025 as a law school Intern, started working at the firm this January. Allen is a 2026 Juris Doctor candidate at Stetson University College of Law, where she is completing her business law concentration and will receive Stetson’s Business Law Certificate in conjunction with her juris doctor, according to a press release.
“I am excited to continue with Kistemaker Business Law Group and to help support its business, real estate, and community association practice while I grow into my career,” Allen said. “I truly appreciate this opportunity with Attorney Kistemaker and am looking forward to my new role.”
Born and raised in Florida, Allen graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2019 with a degree in legal studies and a minor in criminal justice. She plans to join Kistemaker Business Law Group as an associate following admission to the Florida Bar.
Allen has experience with contract drafting and review, transactional matters, and the representation of condominium and homeowners’ associations. In addition, her prior experience includes interning with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida and serving in an in-house legal role, where she gained experience in contract analysis and business operations. She is an active member of the Business Law Section of The Florida Bar and has been selected as a Florida Bar Business Law Section Scholar.
“It is fantastic to welcome one of our summer interns back to the Firm,” Managing Attorney Erum Kistemaker said. “We are so happy that the program, which is in its 13th year, is so productive for us — as are the students.”
The program is available to prospective law students looking to gain valuable legal experience and greater insight into the practice of real estate, business, condo/HOA, and construction law as well as landlord and tenant law.
