About
Emily Shapiro supports UB Greensfelder's Franchising and Distribution group and its Energy group on corporate transactions and regulatory matters. Before joining the firm, she practiced at a Chicago law firm. She advised clients there on mergers and acquisitions. She structured debt financing and corporate governance agreements for those deals. She earned her J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2023 and a B.A. from The Ohio State University in 2020. She received the CALI Award for Excellence in Negotiations. Internships and judicial clerkships in the public and private sectors gave her early exposure to supply chain contracts. At UB Greensfelder she brings that background to corporate transactions for franchise, distribution, and energy clients.
