Join the Plaintiffs’ Law Association and the Rhode Center on the Legal Profession for a lunchtime conversation with Alex Walsh ’01 and Sarah London—two powerhouse trial lawyers who have led MDLs nationwide—on their groundbreaking work against Uber and Roblox. Both Alex and Sarah serve on the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee for the Uber Sexual Assault MDL, which seeks to hold Uber accountable for sexual assaults committed by its drivers and has broken new ground in terms of making good law on an employer’s vicarious liability for sexual assault. Alex and Sarah will be trying the first federal bellwether case against Uber later this year. Both are also leading the new litigation against Roblox, the kids’ gaming platform, on behalf of children and their families who were sexually exploited by predators on the app.

Professor Nora Engstrom will serve as moderator.

Alex Walsh graduated from Stanford Law School in 2001 and clerked for Merrick Garland (back when he was on the DC Circuit) and Justice Breyer on the Supreme Court before practicing on the defense-side. Five years, she made the switch over to the plaintiffs’ side and has never looked back.

Sarah London, in addition to serving as Co-Lead Counsel in the Uber MDL, where she leads a majority female Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee, also served as Co-Lead in the Juul MDL, which resulted in an unprecedented $100 million settlement. In line with her passion for women’s advocacy, Sarah is also an innovator in cases involving failures in the fertility industry, having taken on genetic testing companies and IVF product manufacturers for the loss of eggs and embryos. Sarah was a partner at Lieff Cabraser before moving over to Girard Sharp earlier this year.
