Personal Introduction

Nuzayra Haque-Shah is an award-winning Intellectual Property Attorney and Brand Protection Strategist based in Los Angeles. As the founder of a virtual, flat-fee law firm, she empowers 6–8 figure founders, unicorn CEOs and emerging brands to grow with legal confidence—offering comprehensive counsel on trademarks, copyrights, licensing, contracts, privacy, and AI law compliance. With a 100% success rate at TTAB, she has secured lucrative settlements for her small business clients including a half a million dollar trademark acquisition among other notable achievements. With over a decade of experience, Nuzayra has advised U.S. and international clients across diverse industries, including e-commerce, fashion, beauty, cannabis, NFTs, entertainment, and tech. She's renowned for helping brands become retail-ready for major retailers like Sephora and Target through strategic legal frameworks and smart brand positioning. A trailblazer in her field, Nuzayra was among the first attorneys to secure federal trademark protection in the cannabis space. Her accolades include being named a Super Lawyers Rising Star since 2015 and one of the Daily Journal’s Top Women Attorneys in California. She formerly served on the Board of Directors for the South Asian Bar Association of Southern California. Committed to sustainable and accessible legal practices, Nuzayra launched her virtual firm as a modern alternative to traditional, paper-heavy law offices. By going digital, she reduces her carbon footprint while making high-level legal support more accessible to founders worldwide. Beyond her professional endeavors, Nuzayra is a dedicated advocate for girls’ education, donating a portion of her firm’s profits to charities that support access to education for young women and girls globally.
