Attorney Lema Khorshid engages in the practice of sports and entertainment law, corporate law and intellectual property law. Prior to becoming a partner at Fuksa, Bucaro & Khorshid, LLC, Lema founded her own marketing and public relations consulting firm, where she counseled a wide range of clients in the fashion, entertainment and hospitality industries for six years. During law school, Lema also served as a legal intern for the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (the organization better known for The Grammy Awards).

These clients realize the value of her extensive experience in the fashion and entertainment industries (both domestically and abroad) and thus have specifically sought out her representation. She has represented fashion designers, fashion showrooms, musicians and film production companies with a wide range of legal matters on both coasts.
Lema received two bachelors degrees from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in Finance and Marketing, with a concentration in International Business and Italian (2000).
