WilmerHale is pleased to announce that David Singh and Morgan MacBride will be joining the firm as partners in its Commercial Litigation Practice Group, based in the Palo Alto office. They will join from Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, where together they built a nationally recognized consumer class-action defense practice representing leading technology companies and other major global businesses in high-stakes litigation and arbitration.
Singh and MacBride defend companies in consumer and privacy class actions, mass arbitrations, product liability matters and complex commercial disputes in state and federal courts across the country. Singh, who co-led Weil’s national Complex Commercial Litigation practice and is recognized as one of the nation’s leading class action litigators, becomes vice chair of WilmerHale’s Commercial Litigation Group. Their arrival deepens WilmerHale's elite West Coast technology litigation practice and further strengthens the capabilities of the firm’s class action, privacy and mass tort practices.
“We are delighted to have David and Morgan join our team. Their many years of successfully navigating some of the most complex litigation will be a tremendously valuable asset to our clients,” said WilmerHale Managing Partner Anjan Sahni.
Their arrival builds on WilmerHale’s position as a powerhouse litigation firm for technology clients in the Bay Area and nationwide. Just minutes from the courts in which so many of the most important tech industry disputes of the last twenty years have been resolved, WilmerHale’s Palo Alto office is a destination for technology clients for their most complex disputes across subject areas ranging from commercial, class action, IP, securities, antitrust and government-facing litigation.
“I have known David since our associate days and could not be more thrilled to welcome him and Morgan to WilmerHale and to join forces to cement our position as the go-to litigation practice for the world’s leading tech companies,” said Sonal Mehta, partner-in-charge of the firm’s Palo Alto office and a nationally recognized leader in technology litigation. “Their deep experience in class actions, mass actions, and products liability litigation complements the firm’s existing strengths in California in high-stakes litigation and regulatory matters.”
Singh, recognized by Chambers USA for General Commercial Litigation in California, brings over two decades of experience representing global companies in state and federal courts across the country, as well as in arbitration. His experience includes consumer class actions, privacy class actions, mass arbitrations, product liability claims, contract disputes, fraud, unfair competition, trade-secret misappropriation and employee mobility disputes, and earn out, working capital, indemnification, and other post-closing M&A disputes.
“WilmerHale’s top litigation platform coupled with its West Coast talent and client base made it the natural fit for my next chapter,” said David Singh. “With the technology industry evolving every day, I am thrilled to join a firm that is nimble and dynamic. I look forward to working alongside my new colleagues to deliver exceptional results for our clients.”
MacBride brings substantial experience counseling clients through a range of business disputes and litigation matters, including class actions, consumer deception and products liability claims, AI-related claims, greenwashing challenges, antitrust issues, and contractual disputes and business torts.
“I’m excited to continue to grow my practice alongside David and my new partners and colleagues at WilmerHale. The depth and breadth of the firm’s expertise in serving technology clients across litigation and regulatory practices, and its commitment to collaboration across subject areas and geographies, presented a unique opportunity for us to work with our clients to solve their hardest problems,” said Morgan MacBride.
Singh earned his JD from Cornell Law School and his BA in Political Science and Speech Communications from the University of Minnesota. MacBride earned his JD from Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law and his BA in Business Law and Political Science and Government from the University of Southern California.
