Deepak Gupta

Deepak Gupta is the founding principal of Gupta Wessler LLP and a lecturer at Harvard Law School, where he teaches the Harvard Supreme Court Litigation Clinic.

Deepak represents plaintiffs in high-stakes appeals. Trial lawyers across the country entrust him to defend their most significant victories, or revive worthy claims, in class actions, MDLs, and individual cases—including some of the nation’s largest jury verdicts.

Over more than two decades, Deepak has led appeals before the U.S. Supreme Court, all thirteen federal circuits, and numerous state supreme courts, with a focus on ensuring access to justice for consumers, workers, investors, and communities harmed by corporate or governmental misconduct. He has also testified before the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court.

Deepak’s appellate practice spans the full range of plaintiff-side litigation, including antitrust, civil rights, consumer and worker protection, products liability, securities fraud, torts, and constitutional law, and often involves cross-cutting issues such as arbitration, class certification, preemption, personal jurisdiction, and punitive damages. He has worked with an equally wide range of clients and co-counsel, including leading plaintiffs’ firms, nonprofits, labor unions, public officials, and artists, scholars, and athletes.
