Shivani Patel is an associate attorney at Turney LG, where she focuses her practice on insurance defense litigation. She represents businesses, insurers, and individuals in civil matters and works with clients to move cases from early evaluation through resolution.

She approaches each case with a practical mindset, focusing on understanding the facts early, identifying exposure, and working toward efficient outcomes. When needed, she is comfortable pushing cases forward through litigation and advocating for her clients’ positions.

Before joining Turney LG, Shivani handled workers’ compensation matters in Missouri and Kansas, representing employers and insurance carriers from initial claim through settlement. That experience gave her a strong foundation in analyzing records, evaluating claims, and working closely with clients throughout the process.

Shivani also gained administrative and legal experience in both litigation and in-house settings. She worked with a hospitality company on corporate compliance, real estate transactions, contract management, and insurance-related matters, and assisted with legal research and case preparation across arbitration, employment law, and regulatory compliance issues.

Shivani earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Law. During law school, she served in leadership roles in the Association for Women Law Students and the Federal Bar Association, gained hands-on experience through the Entrepreneurial Legal Services and Intellectual Property Clinics, and served as a research assistant supporting academic and business law initiatives. She was also recognized on the Dean’s List. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a minor in Business Administration, summa cum laude, from the University of Missouri–Kansas City.

In her free time, Shivani enjoys traveling, spending time with her family, and relaxing with her dog, Sophy.
