This Week’s 1L Clerk Spotlight:

Maya Sanaba

Maya works as a summer associate at Lathrop GPM LLP in Minneapolis, MN. Starting July 12th, she will be working at CHS, one of the firm’s corporate clients. Maya is pursuing a J.D. degree from the University of Iowa College of Law, and she plans to move to Minneapolis after graduating because she loves going up north and being outdoors! At the firm, she is most interested in Business Transactions and Trusts & Estates Litigation.

Maya graduated from Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN with a bachelor’s in Communication and a minor in Classical Studies. She was born in Louisville, KY and moved to Bangalore, India with her family when she was 11. Maya moved back to the US with her family two weeks before starting college at Purdue.

At Iowa Law, Maya started the school’s South Asian Law Students Association chapter and will serve as its President this coming fall, and as a 2L representative on the Iowa Student Bar Association.

During her down time, Maya loves running, going to the gym, reading, and listening to Mythology podcasts! Feel free to reach out to her at maya.sanaba@lathropgpm.com or on LinkedIn to connect.
