Biography
Sejal K. Brahmbhatt is a partner at Williams Hart & Boundas, LLP, where she has practiced since joining the firm in 2003. With nearly 25 years of experience, she has built a strong reputation in personal injury and mass tort litigation, representing individuals harmed by pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and advocating for women pursuing claims against rideshare companies such as Uber and Lyft.
Born in London, England, and raised in the United States from the age of nine, Sejal brings a unique cultural perspective to her work. Her background, combined with decades of legal experience, informs her zealous and effective advocacy for her clients.
Sejal’s experience spans every stage of litigation, from initial case vetting through trial. She is known for building strong, trust-based relationships with her clients, an approach that consistently yields positive outcomes. She has handled mass tort litigation ranging from approximately 25 to 2,000 plaintiffs, guiding cases from inception through settlement and trial, and securing millions of dollars in recoveries for her clients.
She has been instrumental in high-stakes litigation, including serving on the trial team representing children affected by in utero exposure to Depakote. She managed the firm’s Depakote docket, helping secure significant verdicts of $38 million and $15 million for affected families. She has also taken on major corporations, including Johnson & Johnson, Janssen, Merck, Boston Scientific, and GlaxoSmithKline. In recognition of her leadership, she was appointed by Judge Claire Cecchi to the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in the national Proton Pump Inhibitor litigation.
Most recently, Sejal represented a woman who was sexually assaulted by an Uber driver in a case tried in the Western District of North Carolina as part of a larger multidistrict litigation (MDL). With Judge Charles R. Breyer presiding, the case marked the second trial in the MDL and the first selected by Uber for trial purposes, ultimately resulting in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff.
