Sarah London is a skilled and experienced trial lawyer who is relentless in her pursuit of justice. She is a trusted advocate routinely appointed by courts to lead high-profile, complex cases of significant public and societal importance.
Sarah currently serves as Co-Lead and Liaison Counsel in the multidistrict litigation against Uber on behalf of passengers who were sexually assaulted by drivers. The lawsuits claim that Uber has long been aware of the risk and prevalence of sexual assault on its platform but has continued to market it as safe and failed to protect its passengers.
In line with her passion for women’s advocacy, Sarah is an innovator in cases involving failures in the fertility industry. She has taken on genetic testing companies and IVF product manufacturers for the loss of eggs and embryos, including in litigation involving a cryopreservation tank failure at a fertility clinic in San Francisco, which resulted in a historic trial verdict.
Sarah also advocates for those harmed by vaping and tobacco companies. She cut her teeth litigating and managing more than 3,000 cases brought on behalf of smokers and their families, ultimately leading to an unprecedented $100 million settlement. More recently, she served as Co-Lead and Liaison Counsel in the Juul multidistrict litigation, leading a team of more than 65 law firms across more than 7,000 lawsuits alleging that the marketing, design, and distribution of the Juul e-cigarette caused a youth vaping epidemic. Sarah led the litigation to resolution in less than two and a half years. She also represents families against Stiiizy, Inc., bringing groundbreaking product liability claims arising from youth-oriented marketing, deceptive advertising, and unreasonably dangerous high-potency THC cannabis products.
Also an experienced advocate for those injured by unreasonably dangerous drugs and medical devices, Sarah was appointed to serve on the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee in the Gilead HIV Drug Kidney & Bone Injuries Litigation in San Francisco Superior Court, involving claims that Gilead withheld a safer alternative HIV drug from the market to protect its profits over patient safety. She has litigated and successfully resolved hundreds of claims involving defective transvaginal mesh and hidden dangers in heavily promoted birth control products.
A highly sought after speaker and lecturer, Sarah has spoken at numerous bench and bar events, including conferences and panels sponsored by the Federal Bar Association, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, Northern District of California Lawyer Representatives, American Bar Association, American Association for Justice, Trial Lawyers of Mass Torts, Harris Martin, Mass Torts Made Perfect, Bar Association of San Francisco, Consumer Attorneys of California, and the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association.
Sarah has held multiple leadership positions in the Consumer Attorneys of California, including her current position as Treasurer on the Executive Committee. In September 2019, Sarah was appointed Chair of the Resource Board of the National Association of Women Judges. When she’s not practicing law, Sarah enjoys hiking, traveling, and dancing in the living room with her family.
