About John G
John G Shubat began his professional path in business before turning to law. He earned a Bachelor of Science from the Kelly School of Business at Indiana University in 1980 and later returned to Indianapolis to complete his J.D. at the Indiana University School of Law in 1988. That combination of business training and legal education informs how he approaches cases and client matters.
After law school, Shubat concentrated his practice in Indiana. He is admitted to practice in the state of Indiana and holds admission to the United States District Courts for the Southern and Northern Districts of Indiana, as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Those admissions allow him to represent clients in both state and federal fora, including appellate work in the Seventh Circuit.
Shubat has been associated with The Nice Law Office. His connection to that firm is part of a longer career spent handling litigation and related matters in Indiana courts. Over the years he has taken cases through trial court proceedings and, when necessary, into federal court. His background in business gives him an additional perspective when cases involve commercial or financial elements.
Professional involvement has been steady. Since 1988 he has maintained memberships in the American Bar Association, the Indianapolis Bar Association, the Indiana State Bar, and the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association. Those long-term memberships reflect ongoing participation in the legal community and access to professional resources and continuing legal education.
Colleagues describe Shubat as pragmatic and straightforward in court. He structures arguments with attention to evidentiary detail and the procedural steps that govern litigation. He prepares cases for trial and for appellate review, and adapts his strategies to the forum in which a dispute will be heard. His practice has included both individual client representation and matters that intersect with business concerns.
Outside the courtroom, Shubat draws on his undergraduate business training when analyzing case economics and settlement options. He keeps up with local court developments and federal procedural trends that affect how cases progress. He currently practices law in Indiana and appears in the federal courts that serve the state, including the Seventh Circuit.
