Majed Nachawati

Majed Nachawati is a founding partner of Nachawati Law Group and is heavily involved in the law firm’s mass tort and public client practices. Majed currently serves on the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee in In re Texas Opioid Litigation, No. 18-0358. In addition to his work on the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee, Majed leads the firm in representing the State of Utah as well as more than 50 counties, cities, and hospital districts in Texas, North Dakota, New Mexico, Kentucky, Maryland, Florida, and Mississippi in the opioid litigation. The firm’s public entity practice under Majed’s leadership is also representing the States of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Nevada against social media giants such as Facebook and TikTok, and the State of Arkansas against Temu. Contemporarily, he serves as Co-liaison in Paraquat cases, JCCP 5031, pending before the Honorable Judge Edward G. Weil, as well as on the Official Committee of Talc Claimants in the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy of Red River Talc LLC (LTL III), No. 24-90505. Previously, he served on the Official Tort Claimants’ Committee in the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy of Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, LTL Management (LTL I), No. 21-30589, and as Interim Co-Lead Class Counsel in the Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream litigation in the Northern District of California, Nos. 3:11-cv-2910-EMC and 4:11-cv-3164-EMC.

Majed has led the firm developing a strong mass tort and class action practice. The firm has held leadership positions in the Winter Storm Uri MDL, Bard Hernia Mesh MDL, the Bard IVC Filter MDL, the Cook IVC Filter MDL, the Cordis IVC Filter MDL, and the Paragard IUD MDL. In addition to filing one of the first class actions against Dreyer’s Ice Cream for false advertising, the firm filed the first class action in the nation against Midstream Media for privacy violations arising from an invasive computer tracking technology known as “history sniffing,” one of the first class actions against Apple for privacy violations arising from tracking of consumers on their iPhones, and one of the first known consumer class actions against Loreal arising from the company’s failure to warn consumers about the flammability of a particular hair care product.

Under Majed’s leadership, the firm provided onsite trial briefing support for a three-week Cook IVC filter trial and was part of the team that received a $3 million design defect verdict—the first in the country against an IVC filter manufacturer. In 2018, the firm tried a case against the perpetrators of a murder-for-hire scheme involving millions of dollars in life insurance and obtained a verdict of approximately $166 million.

The son of a first-generation Middle Eastern immigrant father and a Hispanic mother, Majed did not growup in a life of privilege. He discovered the law as a way to make a difference in his own life and in the lives of his clients. He began his legal career as a two-year judicial law clerk with the Thirteenth Court of Appeals of Texas. Majed works tirelessly to build relationships and do the work that will create change. He sees practicing law as a calling—not just a career.

Majed has served on the State Bar of Texas Committee on Professionalism and was the District Chairman for the Grievance Committee for the State Bar of Texas, District 6. He has also served as a Committee Member for The Dallas Bar Association’s Legal Ethics Committee and Lawyer Referral Service Committee. Majed also serves as member of the Board of Directors of Public Justice and the Board of Directors for the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, is an appointed member of The William ‘Mac” Taylor American Inn of Court, and is a former member of the State Bar of Texas Committee for Diversity in the Profession.

Majed also serves as a mentor to law students at the University of North Texas School of Law. He has sponsored the Junior League of Dallas, the Attorneys Helping the Community 5K, Feed My Starving Children, the Texas Crime Victims Compensation Fund, and the Lone Star Race Benefiting Children with Disabilities. Through the law firm, he has also participated in relief efforts to address natural disasters, including Humanitarian Relief for Families Affected by Hurricane Harvey, and volunteered with DFW Detained.
