The National Law Journal has recognized trial lawyer Majed Nachawati for his leadership in multidistrict litigation (MDL) on the national stage, including his advocacy for diversity in MDL leadership, with a spot on its list of Plaintiffs’ Lawyer Trailblazers for 2022.
“There’s an underdog spirit in most successful trial lawyers, and Majed Nachawati is no exception,” the NLJ wrote in its May/June edition. Majed is the founder of Dallas-based Fears Nachawati law firm.
Majed has taken a stand for a group of cities and counties involved in lawsuits against the makers, distributors and retailers of highly addictive prescription opioid painkillers. Those efforts helped to secure a key appellate ruling earlier this year moving their lawsuits from federal court back to the state trial courts where the plaintiffs had originally filed.
Additionally, Majed has been an outspoken advocate over a ploy by Johnson & Johnson to shed its liabilities to thousands of women who developed ovarian cancer after using talcum-based products like Johnson’s Baby Powder. He currently sits on an oversight board monitoring the J&J bankruptcy.
The National Law Journal also noted Majed’s commitment to improving diversity among MDL leadership. The media outlet cited him and his firm for being inaugural signatories on the Judicial Appointments Inclusivity Standard developed by the James F. Humphreys Complex Litigation Center at George Washington Law School.
“This work demands an unwavering commitment and resilience, but I’d have it no other way,” Majed said.
The Plaintiffs’ Trailblazers edition is published in the May/June edition of the NLJ. You can view it online here.
