About Nuzayra

Nuzayra is a virtual attorney which means the world is her office (or oyster?) and she’s based out of sunny Los Angeles. Being virtual helps Nuzayra save on traditional costs of running a law firm and allows her to pass on those savings to her clients while providing top quality service–so your legal fees are not keeping you up at night #happyclients.

As a creative entrepreneur and small business owner herself, Nuzayra loves working with startups and creative professionals and has represented clients in cannabis, technology, design, fashion, and entertainment.

She is often featured in legal outlets as an expert in intellectual property, and recently served on the Board of Directors of the South Asian Bar Association of Southern California.
