HAAM provides access to affordable healthcare for Austin’s low-income, uninsured working musicians, with a focus on prevention and wellness.

Participants in this year’s Battle of the Bands included several Jackson Walker clients, and serving as a master of ceremonies offered a great opportunity to support those clients while raising money for a good cause, said Mr. Taylor, who has been a longtime supporter of HAAM’s work. In 2007-2009, Mr. Taylor served as HAAM Benefit Day committee chairman. In 2008, he also joined the HAAM Board of Directors, and in 2010, he was elected chairman of the board, a position he held through December 2012.

Mr. Taylor devotes a significant amount of his practice to land acquisition and development, particularly with respect to residential subdivisions and mixed use developments, and Mr. Taylor also works with local governments on land use and development issues for his clients.
