About Bano
Bano Itayim trained first as a political scientist and then as a lawyer. She earned a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Saint Thomas in 2004. Two years later she received her J.D. from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2006. Her academic path was compact and rapid. It set a straightforward course into legal practice.
Her early career moved quickly into law firm work. In 2009 she joined Ali Zakaria & Associates as an associate. The following year she became an associate at Slowik & Robinson, LLC. Those years established her as a working member of small-firm litigation teams. She handled casework, prepared filings and supported client matters across state and federal dockets.
Itayim is admitted to practice in Ohio, the Federal Circuit and Texas. That combination of admissions has shaped the types of courts where she appears and the procedural demands she encounters. It also means she moves between state practice and federal appellate practice rather than staying within a single court system.
Colleagues describe her as steady and practical. She approaches case preparation with an eye for procedural detail and an emphasis on clear, direct advocacy. She is comfortable drafting briefs and managing discovery. She balances the file work with appearances when matters require court time. Her background in political science informs how she frames issues for judges and clients. It gives her a particular interest in how legal arguments intersect with policy and administrative process.
Over time she has remained at Slowik & Robinson, LLC. The firm environment there has kept her engaged in both local and broader matters handled across multiple venues. She continues to work on matters that require coordination across jurisdictions and careful attention to procedural timelines. She brings a steady presence to case teams and to the client work the firm handles.
She currently practices at Slowik & Robinson, LLC, where she handles matters in Ohio, the Federal Circuit and Texas.
