Rupal Joshi

Rupal Joshi focuses her practice on representing multinational corporations in complex civil litigation, with a current focus on mass torts and product liability actions. In recognition of Ms. Joshi’s work, she has been repeatedly named one of Best Lawyers’ Ones To Watch in America (since 2023). Ms. Joshi has litigated complex civil matters in federal and state courts, as well as private arbitration cases. Through the course of her work, she has secured dismissals in complex commercial disputes at the motion to dismiss stage, coordinated and led efforts for pretrial discovery and handled various aspects of depositions, including fact and expert witnesses. She has also developed case themes in advance of trial, prepared expert and fact witnesses for trial testimony, as well as drafted direct and cross-examination outlines for fact and expert witnesses and pre- and post-trial briefings on key legal issues at trial.

Ms. Joshi has been a key member of at least 10 trial teams in a variety of matters, including mass torts proceedings, product liability actions, complex commercial disputes and merger-and-acquisition-related litigation, six of which have gone to judgment or verdict. Notably, Ms. Joshi was a key member of the trial team that secured a full victory for The Coca-Cola Company in an expedited multiday arbitration with Monster Beverage Corp. where the arbitration tribunal ruled that The Coca-Cola Company can sell its energy drink globally under the terms of the contract between the two companies, months after the launch of the product in Europe. Ms. Joshi also helped secure a full trial victory for TravelCenters of America LLC (TA) in a dispute against Comdata, Inc. and a post-trial dismissal on all counts for the outside directors of Ebix Inc. In addition, she was on the trial teams in a five-week products liability jury trial in Pennsylvania state court and a six-week False Claims Act jury trial in New Jersey federal court.

In addition to her practice, Ms. Joshi’s pro bono work includes representing immigrant children in obtaining special immigrant juvenile status and legal permanent residency, as well as victims of domestic violence and abuse in obtaining protection from abuse orders.

Ms. Joshi serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, co-teaching a “boot camp”-style course to 2L students titled “How to Litigate as a Junior Associate.” She is also a board member of the South Asian Bar Association of Delaware and volunteers with South Asian Americans for Change, a 501(3)(c) nonprofit that she co-founded with friends and family in 2021.
