OVERVIEW

As a partner in Hausfeld’s Washington, D.C. office, Swathi has built a diverse and impactful career. She has worked on some of the highest-profile and most comprehensive class action antitrust cases in recent years, recovering over $3 billion in settlement awards for the firm’s clients. She represented a class of health insurance subscribers in In re Blue Cross Blue Shield Antitrust Litigation, securing $2.67 billion in settlement and broad injunctive relief to increase opportunities for competition in the healthcare industry. She has also played a key role in significant antitrust matters within the sports industry, particularly concerning  players’ rights around names, images, and likenesses (NIL). Swathi was instrumental in the landmark O’Bannon v. NCAA trial, which secured class injunctive relief allowing college athletes to receive compensation for their NIL rights, marking a pivotal victory for college athletes that continues to have significant implications.

From initial case investigations through trial, Swathi has represented the firm’s clients in all aspects of litigation. Swathi currently serves as Court-appointed Co-Lead Counsel in In re RealPage, Inc., Rental Software Antitrust Litigation, where she represents a class of renters who are alleged to have been harmed by algorithmic price-fixing in the multifamily rental market. Swathi has represented hundreds of patients in wide-ranging healthcare mass torts, and she has also fought for victims of data breaches and privacy violations, challenging retailers, health insurance providers, restaurant chains, and financial institutions for their inadequate security measures.

At Hausfeld, Swathi leads the firm’s Community Services Committee and serves on the US Hiring Committee. Prior to joining Hausfeld, Swathi worked on several presidential campaigns and in the U.S. Senate, both for then-Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and as a law clerk to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.

Clients

Swathi has litigated a variety of other cases across the legal spectrum, securing favorable results for her clients. In the antitrust realm, she has represented both individual and class clients in the health insurance, transportation, and financial services sectors seeking to recover damages from price-fixing and market allocation cartels. As an avid sports fan, Swathi has relished the opportunity to represent current and former athletes as they seek fair treatment for the dedication they put into the game.

Swathi has also represented small credit unions, banks, and consumers across the country who have suffered damages as a result of data breaches at companies including Target, Home Depot, Wendy’s, and ParkMobile. Through her work on these cases, she has developed an expertise in data breach law and has helped to design and implement unique settlement frameworks in this developing area of law.
