About David Fuad
I am a trial lawyer and litigation advisor who serves as Orrick\'s Los Angeles Office Leader and co-lead of associate assignments on commercial disputes, giving me a full perspective on Orrick’s dispute resolution platform and extensive insight into nationwide and niche juror, jurisdictional, case management, and trial trends.I handle business-critical disputes, breaking down highly technical details for juries at trial and innovating in strategic, big-picture thinking as part of national counsel representations.In trial, litigation, arbitration or mediation, I work to deliver efficient and favorable results aligned with clients’ business objectives. From health and safety mass tort litigation for the NCAA, to complex, multimillion-dollar international breach of contract claims and countersuits for a global television manufacturer, to high-stakes, precedent-setting employment victories for Oracle, I have handled a range of commercial disputes. I was named a “Litigator of the Week” by American Lawyer for achieving a complete defense verdict in a precedent-setting jury trial, and have been named a “Litigator of the Week” Runner-Up twice for securing defense verdicts, including in a $100 million negligence action. In addition to these recognitions from American Lawyer, David was also named to The Recorder\'s list of Lawyers on the Fast Track in California.I also provide risk mitigation counseling to both established and emerging companies, helping clients see around corners to avoid or reduce potential exposures.I am also committed to challenging inequities through pro bono work. For Equal Justice Under Law, I helped secure a favorable judgment in a federal civil rights class action, barring indigent criminal defendants unable to pay court-imposed fines and fees from being jailed in a system that was described as a “modern-day debtors’ prison.”
