Marisa Shearer represents clients in complex litigation matters. While in law school, she gained hands-on experience representing detainees in an immigration law clinic. Marisa also worked as a summer law clerk at WTO and at a major telecommunications company. Through these opportunities, she developed experience researching a wide range of legal issues, working closely with clients, and drafting contracts, amendments, and discovery documents.
