About George Ruben
George Ruben Bravo earned his J.D. from Santa Clara University School of Law in 2015, where he studied business law. He came to law school after several years in public service and policy circles. The classroom and clinic work he did at Santa Clara shaped an interest in the intersection of business and public policy.

He also completed a clinical internship at the Entrepreneur 1s Law Clinic in 2015 and a summer legal internship at Boase Cohen & Collins in 2014, gaining hands-on exposure to client counseling and transactional matters.
After law school he took a policy research fellowship at the Panetta Institute for Public Policy in 2015. The following year he worked as a corporate project assistant for the Stanford Graduate School of Business, a role that involved coordination on administrative and corporate-related projects. In 2017 he opened his own practice, the Law Office of George R. Bravo.
