Riley J. Shaw

Riley is part of a Tucker Ellis team that defends a Fortune 200 manufacturer in state and federal courts across the country to resolve its premises liability, personal injury, and product liability matters. He handles various aspects of pre-trial litigation, including drafting pleadings, conducting fact investigation and expert discovery, preparing dispositive and evidentiary motions, and negotiating favorable settlements.

During law school, Riley served as an extern with the U.S. Attorney’s Office where he assisted in preparing a Fourth Amendment appellate brief that was submitted to the U.S. Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit. He also served as a legal writing tutor for first-year law students, where he honed his writing skills and gained valuable experience in helping others understand the complexities of legal writing.

As an undergraduate student, Riley won more than 100 matches for Cleveland State’s wrestling team as a heavyweight and qualified for the NCAA tournament three times, winning the league title twice. During his second year of law school, he served as the graduate assistant coach for the team. Balancing that role with the demands of law school helped him fine-tune his time management and organizational skills, which are integral to his law practice today.

In his free time, Riley enjoys an occasional jog, working on home renovations with his wife Anna, and spending time with their sons Frazier and Franky and three dogs Vike, Magnus, and Mumford.
