She was previously litigation counsel for a multinational automotive manufacturer, where she advised business and engineering teams on legal risks related to emerging automotive technologies, product liability, intellectual property and federal and state regulatory developments.

In addition to her legal practice, Shaniqua is a frequent speaker and author on various topics including litigation trends, federal and state legislative updates and the legal implications of emerging technologies on business. She has been recognized as a Next Generation of Leaders (In-House) honoree by the 2026 Women, Influence & Power in Law Awards and received the Rising Star Award from the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation, where she continues to serve as a Leadership Council member and volunteer.
