Behram V. Parekh

Behram V. Parekh is a Los Angeles attorney who focuses his practice on mass torts, product liability, and class action litigation. A seasoned attorney with over 25 years of experience litigating complex class action and mass tort cases, Behram has represented individuals and institutions in high-stakes litigation at the trial and appellate levels. He has earned appointments as lead or co-lead counsel in numerous cases involving consumer fraud, false and misleading advertising, unfair competition, securities fraud, and product liability.

Behram is widely recognized for his experience and proven results in all stages of litigation, from taking and defending fact and expert witness depositions to arguing significant motions—including Daubert and summary judgment—to serving on trial teams and successfully arguing before state and federal appellate courts. 

A recognized authority on the discovery of electronically stored information (ESI), Behram’s background in computer science has positioned him as a go-to resource for negotiating and overseeing ESI protocols in complex litigation. He frequently chairs ESI and discovery committees and is regularly invited to speak at conferences on topics related to consumer fraud, complex litigation, arbitration, and ESI.

Recent leadership roles in multi district litigation (MDL) and class actions include:

  • Co-lead counsel in In re: Apple iPhone 4 Products Liability Litigation, MDL-2188 (N.D. Cal.)
  • Sole lead counsel in In re: Pom Wonderful LLC Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation, MDL-2199 (C.D. Cal.)

  • Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee member in In re: Valsartan, Losartan, and Irbesartan Products Liability Litigation, MDL-2875 (D.N.J.)

In addition to federal MDLs, Mr. Parekh has held leadership positions in numerous California state court Judicial Council Coordinated Proceedings, which function as mini-MDLs for state court actions.

Born in India and raised in Hong Kong, Behram came to the United States at age 18. He attended UC Irvine as an undergraduate before attending Pepperdine University School of Law. Outside of his legal practice, Behram is passionate about cars (including SCCA racing), flying, sailing, travel, and hockey. He is also a voracious reader, especially of science fiction and fantasy.
