Sopen Shah

Sopen Shah has handled appeals in the Supreme Court of the United States, ten federal circuit courts, and the Wisconsin, Idaho, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Washington Supreme Courts. She received the State Bar of Wisconsin's biennial "Best Brief" award in 2020.

Sopen also litigates high-stakes trial court cases involving antitrust, class actions, constitutional law, corporate governance, environmental law, labor and employment, privacy, and regulation. Her appellate experience enables her to anticipate possible outcomes in the early stages of a case. For example, she recently won a motion to dismiss a $950 million case for lack of jurisdiction in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.

Before joining the firm, Sopen argued Wisconsin's high-profile criminal and civil appeals as a state deputy solicitor general. After graduating from Yale Law School, Sopen clerked for the Honorable Debra Ann Livingston, now-chief judge of the Second Circuit, and the Honorable Amul R. Thapar, then of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Prior to law school, Sopen was a management consultant with McKinsey & Company and a financial analyst at Bloomberg.
