Foley & Lardner has hired Jaikaran “Jai” Singh as a partner for its consumer law, finance and class action practice in San Diego. Singh joins the firm from Dentons, where he was part of a group of partners who arrived in a tumultuous 2015 combination with McKenna Long & Aldridge.

Singh represents clients in high-stakes business and commercial litigation matters, while also providing consumer class action defense counsel. Foley & Lardner recruited Singh by telling him it was looking for a litigator to focus on class action defense work, not just to become a component in a broader business litigation practice, he said.

“Foley's size, positive culture and strong national platform are a good fit for me,” Singh said. “I'm excited to feel like a partner in a law firm again, and less like an important employee who provides legal services in a large corporation.”
