Jessica Shraybman serves as the founder, CEO, and Managing Partner of the firm’s corporate practice. When the firm began to receive many sophisticated legal cases concerning issues of copyrights and trademarks, Jessica sought an expert to co-counsel and met Diane Hernandez Chubb Esq., through a network of colleagues. Five years later, the two merged their practices after realizing their complementary strengths and weaknesses. “Because of the origin of mutual respect and trust, our relationship was already formed, and it made the deal come together nicely,” Jessica said when asked about the recent acquisition of Chubb IP Law. Like any acquisition or merger, there is a transitional period that comes with a learning curve, but Shraybman feels good about the decision and plans on growing the team even more. Shraybman Law plans to maintain a boutique firm across state lines, providing the same level of quality and the same level of accessibility for small business owners and creatives.
After graduating with a dual bachelor’s degree in philosophy and political science from the University of Miami, Jessica knew she wanted to obtain a law degree from a school in South Florida but was on the fence about the level of commitment required financially and socially. FIU’s College of Law was a newer program in 2012 but had a renowned quality of education and bar passage rating. The generosity of grants and scholarships from FIU, and the College of Law’s intellectual property and entertainment law programming, facilitated her decision. “The hardest part of law school was the commute from Miami Beach,” Shraybman teased, “I came in with the intimidation that law school was this big and scary thing, but the courses were engaging, and the camaraderie and support were great.” Shraybman emphasized the level of commitment and work law school requires as it is not for the faint of heart. Balance was key to Shraybman’s success as she knew the rigorous curriculum didn’t have to drain her life. “I loved law school, all I had to do was read, write, and indulge in meaningful conversation.”
