Episode Details

Recorded in Washington, D.C. during the Hispanic National Bar Association’s annual meeting, John Gomez and David Arreguin sit down with Tyler Quillin, Senior Corporate Counsel supporting Xbox at Microsoft, for a conversation about career pivots, resilience, representation, technology, and the importance of community. 

Tyler shares his unconventional path from special education teacher to attorney, including transferring law schools, failing the bar exam, rebuilding his career, discovering intellectual property law, and eventually joining Microsoft. Today, his work with Xbox spans the hardware and accessories ecosystem, supporting executives and engineers throughout product development, manufacturing, compliance, logistics, and partnerships. 

The conversation also explores Latino representation in the legal profession, the power of the HNBA community, overcoming imposter syndrome, and why Tyler believes kindness and service should remain at the heart of a legal career.
