Kyla Baxter, President
It has been said that “many things may change us, but we start and end with family,” and that is how Kyla’s career at Baxter Structures began. After earning her B.A. (Law) from Carleton University and gaining experience in a boutique litigation firm, Kyla joined the firm founded by her late father, Bob Baxter, in the mid 1990’s.
Kyla’s fifteen years in the structured settlement industry includes work with many of the top casualty insurers, national law firms, and a diverse range of claimants. As a member of the National Structured Settlement Trade Association (NSSTA) together with her experience, knowledge, and proven track record, Kyla is frequently asked to speak at structured settlement seminars across the country. Most recently, she earned her Certified Structured Settlement Consultant (CSSC) designation from Notre Dame University.
Kyla is dedicated to her family, so it makes sense that she would lead the family firm and continue the strong tradition of outstanding client service established by her father. Kyla’s capacity for compassion, support, and understanding for her clients is the foundation of Baxter Structures.
Jennie Smith, Settlement Associate
Jennie is a graduate from Carleton University and worked as a life underwriter for London Life from 1994 to 1998. Jennie joined Baxter Structures in 1999, bringing with her valuable experience from the field. With more than a decade of experience in the structured settlement industry, Jennie has provided support to clients at mediations and settlement conferences, and works closely with clients throughout the structured settlement process. She is dedicated to ensuring that each client feels comfortable and secure with their structure and that they receive support needed through, what can often be, an emotional time.
Jennie’s primary focus outside of work is her family, when she is not dedicating her time to her husband and two small children, she volunteers with the Home & School Association. Most recently, she and her husband climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to benefit CODE, a children’s literacy program.

In spring 2012, Meghan will begin her Certified Structured Settlement Consultant (CSSC) designation from Notre Dame University.
