Nachawati Law Group's

Public Entity Litigation Division

Founded in 2006, Fears Nachawati began representing public clients in litigation against the manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of prescription opioids in 2019. After becoming the Nachawati Law Group in 2022, the firm created the Public Entity Litigation Division, building out a team of devoted former public servants and complex civil litigators to focus their energies on a singular purpose: Protect the public good by becoming a force multiplier for government enforcers who need help protecting their citizens from corporate wrongdoing.

We Are

A group of former public servants and skilled litigators devoted to helping governments large and small protect their own citizens from physical, mental, financial, and environmental harm.

We Are Not

Like other plaintiff’s lawyers, because we focus our practice exclusively on the representation of public entities in complex civil enforcement actions.

We Want

To help raise the standard on what it means to serve public entities as outside counsel, standing shoulder to shoulder with governmental enforcers as partners with a common goal.

We Help

State, tribal, county, municipal, and other governmental entities who may be facing big problems without the necessary resources or know-how to solve them.

Parties We Represent

Our division of former public servants and skilled attorneys provides comprehensive legal services to governments and public entities, helping them safeguard themselves and their citizens from corporate wrongdoing.

1. State Governments and Agencies

Serving as co-counsel with state attorneys general and other state agencies, our litigators pursue high-impact civil enforcement and compliance matters in the areas of consumer protection, data privacy, antitrust, qui tam/whistleblower, and environmental protection, all with a laser focus on imposing permanent and enforceable industry reforms.

2. Tribal Governments and Agencies

With experience at the intersection of federal, state, and tribal law, our attorneys handle proceedings that safeguard sovereignty, preserve public health, and defend natural resources.

3. County Governments and Subdivisions

Counties turn to our team to pursue civil enforcement actions that abate public nuisances, protect local revenues, and hold corporate actors accountable for consumer, environmental, and competitive harms.

4. City Governments and Municipal Entities

Municipal clients rely on us to address corporate misconduct, environmental harms, and regulatory violations.

5. Other Governmental Entities

From state employee pension funds and college systems to rural fire districts and water providers, we can help public employees carry out their mandates and protect the public trust.

Areas of Practice 

Consumer Protection

Enforcing Fair Practices

From bait-and-switch schemes perpetrated by multinational e-retailers to online platforms that trade child safety for profit, the battle to protect consumers from nefarious corporate actors never seems to end. We can help balance the scales and make enforcing fair practices a fair fight.

Antitrust Law

Restoring Market Fairness

We advocate for public entities in antitrust actions against corporations that undermine competition and harm consumers. Competition is healthy, and we can help put any public entity’s antitrust enforcement and compliance capabilities at the head of the pack.

Environmental Protection

Preserving Public Resources

Natural resources are often a community’s most valuable asset, and protecting these resources from harm is of the utmost importance. From PFAS contamination to wildfire damage, NLG’s environmental litigators can help governments protect these resources for the enjoyment of future generations.
