Jason Sheasby

For close to twenty years, Jason Sheasby has worked as a litigator at Irell & Manella LLP, a law firm based in Southern California. His work focuses on litigating complex cases related to intellectual property in the pharmaceuticals, universities, and the medical sector.

Jason Sheasby believes that technology is the best aspect of his work. Since his job revolves around the world of intellectual property, his dedication to learning the ins and outs of every case has given him an understanding and appreciation of how technology has evolved.

More importantly, it's given him insight as to whyprotecting intellectual property is so important. Innovating on current inventions and coming up with new ones are both rarely easy feats, often requiring teams of experts to put their heads together until they come up with a solution to their problem. Because of this, Jason knows to work his hardest to protect these potentially life-changing ideas on behalf of their hard-working owners.

In 1999, Jason Sheasby earned his J.D. from Harvard Law School and graduated cum laude. Before entering law school Jason graduated from Pomona College in 1996 with a B.A. in Philosophy. While attending college he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and he graduated summa cum laude.

Some of Jason’s legal accomplishments include being selected to Super Lawyers in 2016 and 2017 and being selected to Rising Stars in 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2015. In 2015 Jason was included in The Daily Journal’s list of “Top IP Litigators.”

Outside of work, Jason Sheasby is a family man who loves spending time with those he loves. He's also an enthusiastic cook, always looking for new ways to bring flavor to the table and healthy, enjoyable dishes to his family.
