Sanjay Nangia knows what it's like to be in a client's shoes, and he uses that experience to make his clients' days easier. He understands the frustrations of receiving lengthy and unclear emails without direct answers to questions, the anxiety that can build when outside counsel doesn't respond in a timely manner, and the difficulties of working with counsel that doesn't understand their clients' business or goals. Sanjay dedicates himself to resolving these pain points and providing practical, useful advice.

Sanjay focuses on business litigation and government investigations. He has represented technology companies, FinTechs, financial institutions, medical organizations, food companies, and many other businesses in a multitude of disputes in both state and federal courts. Sanjay has an affinity for helping clients that are targets of class-action lawsuits or government inquiry. In addition to being a pillar in DWT's San Francisco litigation group, Sanjay works in close coordination with the firm's financial services practice group and emerging payments team. For three years, he worked part-time as a secondee at a San Francisco FinTech "unicorn," handling a diverse set of legal issues across the globe.

 

Practice Highlights

Civil litigation and government investigations defense

Served as lead counsel to Uber Technologies Inc. in civil litigation defending against allegations that it was operating without appropriate federal transportation licenses. The court granted Uber's motion to dismiss with prejudice, finding that Uber had demonstrated that the claims had no merit, and no amendment to the complaint could cure the flaws in plaintiffs' complaint. Additionally, Sanjay has assisted multiple technology companies in government investigations from attorney generals and city attorneys ranging from alleged harm to consumers, merchant customers, and employees.

Class-action and competition/antitrust defense

Currently defending DairyAmerica Inc. in a class action alleging damages from alleged improper reporting of product prices to the United States Department of Agriculture. Currently representing Shizuki Electric Co. Inc. in an antitrust class action alleging price- fixing of capacitors, and previously defended SANYO Consumer Electronics Corp. Ltd. in price-fixing allegations involving LCDs. Successfully defended St. Joseph Health against monopoly and conspiracy antitrust claims.
