   Oct 2012 — Present · New York, NY, US

   I am a partner resident in the New York City office of Eversheds Sutherland, a full-service global law firm with 2,400 lawyers in 66 offices worldwide. I am a dynamic, creative, and solution-focused lawyer with over 15 years of experience managing all aspects of domestic and international litigation and investigations. Clients appreciate my attention to detail, my ability to meaningfully synthesize information, and my case management skills, particularly with respect to managing cases across jurisdictions and globally. I have significant experience handling and managing class action and large-scale multi-district litigation here at home and managing multi-lingual, international investigations around the world. My industry experience spans multiple areas including: class action and multidistrict litigation in the environmental, toxic tort, food and beverage and energy space, as well as investigations in the insurance and financial services space.Outside of my practice, community service, civic engagement, and pro bono work are an important part of my life. I have represented political asylees seeking asylum in the United States throughout my career. I also serve on the board of SAPNA NYC, a nonprofit organization that serves the South Asian immigrant community in New York City with research-based programming. I have a deep interest in meditation and mindfulness, neuroscience, creative writing and world travel. I am always seeking to apply what I learn in these pursuits to my practice in creative and novel ways.
