About Shiohban
Shiohban Royster earned her law degree from Seton Hall University School of Law, completing her J.D. in 2012 with coursework in intellectual property. She entered law school after earlier undergraduate studies and left with a clear interest in the legal issues surrounding creativity, brands and invention. Her academic records show sustained engagement with intellectual property subjects during her time in Newark.
After law school she moved into private practice. Early assignments included client counseling and transactional work that touched on trademarks and copyrights. She later opened her own firm, The Law Office of Shiohban Royster, Esq., where she balanced case work and advisory matters. That experience allowed her to build a practice tailored to individual creators, small businesses and professionals seeking practical legal guidance.
Royster maintains multiple offices to serve clients across county lines. She accepts appointments at an Essex County office and a Union County office on a by-appointment basis. Her primary office operates under the name The Law Office of Shiohban Royster, Esq., where she schedules consultations, drafts agreements and manages filings. The arrangement lets her meet clients in different parts of the region while keeping her practice management centralized.
Her work covers a range of intellectual property issues. She has handled trademark clearance and registration matters, advised on copyright protections, and assisted clients with licensing arrangements and contracts. In addition to transactional work, she provides counseling aimed at reducing risk and clarifying ownership of creative works. She also prepares and reviews agreements that govern how creations are used and shared.
Royster approaches cases with a practical mindset. She aims to make complex rules accessible to people who do not practice law. That approach influences how she prepares filings, negotiates agreements, and explains options to clients. She balances attention to legal detail with an eye toward the client's business or creative goals.
As of 2026 she continues to run The Law Office of Shiohban Royster, Esq., seeing clients by appointment at the Essex and Union County offices and at her main practice location. She currently concentrates her practice on intellectual property and related transactional and counseling matters.
