Sangeeta Kuruppillai

Sangeeta Kuruppillai spent twelve years as an Assistant City Attorney at the Dallas City Attorney’s Office in Texas, defending city management in race and other employment discrimination cases.

She also worked as a Claims Attorney for Great American Insurance Group. Before joining Baron & Budd, Sangeeta worked as Manager of the Civil Division and Chief Deputy in the Dallas County Clerk’s Office.

At Baron & Budd, Sangeeta worked for a year and a half in our Employment group, preparing motions and performing pre-trial and trial work relating to the Fair Labor Standards Act, using the skills she honed as an assistant city attorney to represent clients at Baron & Budd who have been hurt by large companies.

In late 2014, Sangeeta re-joined Baron & Budd’s Environmental Litigation Group, where she currently reviews discovery documents for the MyFord Touch litigation, an in-car communication system thought to put drivers at risk of an accident, and Trichloropropane cases, representing victims of groundwater and soil contamination in several California cities. I enjoy helping put the pieces of a puzzle together to establish a case against offenders of mass tort, like water contamination or defective products.

Sangeeta chose a career in law because she wanted to make a constructive difference in people’s lives. Her work in our Environmental Litigation Group allows Sangeeta to make a significant impact in the lives of our clients and to positively affect our fragile environment at the same time.
