Josh Shore

Josh has spent his entire legal career honing his skills by working with—and against—some of the most feared and respected litigators in the country.

Drawing from his extensive experience handling a broad array of civil and criminal matters, Josh is uniquely qualified to devise creative solutions to seemingly intractable problems. He specializes in conveying complex concepts in the most simple and persuasive terms, and is committed to tailoring a hands-on, collaborative approach that meets the particularized needs of each client.

Before joining AXS LAW, Josh was a partner at Black Srebnick Kornspan & Stumpf, P.A., where he successfully represented both individual and institutional clients in a variety of high‑stakes matters, including corporate divorces, contract disputes, and the civil implications of white-collar criminal investigations at all levels of state and federal court, including the United States Supreme Court.

Josh began his legal career at the prestigious boutique law firm, Podhurst Orseck, P.A. before serving as a law clerk to two federal judges—United States Magistrate Judge Andrea M. Simonton and United States District Judge Jose E. Martinez.

Josh has worked as a volunteer lawyer for political causes, including the Florida Democratic Party, as well as for the Presidential campaigns of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. And, while he was a student, Josh interned in Lennar Corporation’s legal department, the Office of President William J. Clinton in New York, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida, and the Chambers of United States Magistrate Judge Theodore E. Klein.

For several years, Josh has been recognized by his peers for his exceptional results, including being recognized as a “Rising Star” by Florida Super Lawyer, a “Legal Elite” by Florida Trend Magazine, and a “Top Up and Comer” by South Florida Legal Guide. Before joining the firm, Josh was a member of the team that was named the Most Effective Lawyers in the Appellate category by the Daily Business Review. And, after Josh joined the firm, AXS LAW was honored as the Most Effective Commercial Litigation Department by the Daily Business Review twice in three years and featured as a “Spotlight” firm for dispute resolution in South Florida by Chambers & Partners.

Josh earned his undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis, and graduated magna cum laude as a member of the Order of the Coif from the University of Miami School of Law, where he was Articles and Comments Editor for the Inter-American Law Review and the recipient of several honors and awards, including the Dean’s Merit Scholarship. He is admitted to practice in Florida and the United States Supreme Court.
