Brian Vaca Featured as a Distinguished Alum by University of Miami School of Law in Centennial Celebration

Brian Vaca has been featured by the University of Miami School of Law as part of the school’s 100-year anniversary celebration, which is highlighting distinguished graduates from its network of more than 23,000 alumni.

In the feature, Vaca, who obtained both his J.D. and LL.M. in international arbitration from Miami, reflects on his education and career development.

“Although the transition from law school to practice was demanding and required significant growth, by the time I started my career in Washington, D.C., I felt as prepared as I could be — not only on the substantive law, but also in terms of professional expectations,” Vaca said in the feature. “The foundation I developed at Miami Law allowed me to approach that transition with confidence and a clear understanding of the work.”

Vaca was recently recognized as an On the Rise award recipient at the Florida Legal Awards and was named to the Miami-Dade Bar Association Young Lawyers Section as a 40 Under 40 award recipient. He is as a member of Hughes Hubbard’s arbitration practice, which was recently recognized by Law360 as a Practice Group of the Year for International Arbitration.

The feature also highlights Vaca’s commitment to the legal community, including his role as chair of Young MIAS, the young professional division of the Miami International Arbitration Society, and as a regional leader within the Hispanic National Bar Association, where he supports the development and representation of Hispanic legal professionals.
