Our Team
Schwartz & Schreiber, PLLC is an innovative take on the traditional entertainment law firm, conceptualized by longtime friends and colleagues, Brianna Schwartz and Alexis Schreiber. The duo first met on the first day of their analogous journeys at the University of Miami School of Law, where they were both on the path to obtaining a Juris Doctorate and a Master’s in Music Business and Entertainment. After years of defining their own success within the industry, the duo officially teamed up in 2020 to utilize their unique, yet complementary, skills and joint passion to bring to life Schwartz & Schreiber, PLLC, a modern law firm specializing in music, entertainment, technology and new media.

Prior to launching Schwartz & Schreiber, PLLC, Brianna spent almost four years at Miami-based law firm DiSchino & Schamy, PLLC as a senior associate. During this time, she utilized her rooted background and nuanced understanding of the music and entertainment industries, along with her strong contract drafting and business negotiation skills to cultivate the firm’s music and entertainment practice, where she was named department head. She also managed and developed unique processes for the firm’s extensive intellectual property portfolio, consisting of over five hundred domestic and international trademark and copyright applications, for which she deftly executed registration, monitoring, enforcement, and licensing.
She took the first step on her journey while enrolled at the University of Miami School of Law and the University of Miami Frost School of Music (obtaining a Juris Doctorate and a Master’s in Music Business and Entertainment). She held legal clerkships at influential entertainment firm Ziglaw (now Greenspoon Marder LLP), leading electronic dance music festival Ultra Music Festival, and Viacom International Media Networks. At the latter, she developed her acumen as an astute attorney through reviewing and drafting complex commercial transactions for the development, production, distribution, and licensing of Viacom content across traditional and new media platforms. She gained admission to the Florida Bar in 2016.
Her dynamic experience also includes being an entrepreneur herself through founding and successfully growing an innovative startup and studying and practicing dance and piano from an early age. Maintaining a commitment to improving the world around her and giving back, she has actively supported charities in the past such as Miami Music Project, which empowers underprivileged children through the study and performance of music.
She is also a proud South Florida native.
