Rachel Naor has a decade of experience representing plaintiffs and defendants in high-stakes litigation, including class actions and bet-the-company commercial disputes, in state and federal courts throughout the country. Rachel has broad experience litigating a wide range of issues, including unfair business practices, breach of contract, negligence, fraud, and employment discrimination and has represented companies and individuals responding to government investigations and prosecutions.
In her litigation practice, Rachel advocates through all phases of litigation and has played key roles in helping her clients win dispositive motions, defeat class certification, and efficiently achieve successful results. Before joining London & Stout, Rachel spent several years at two international law firms, most recently Alston and Bird LLP, where she focused her practice on defending insurance, technology, and financial services companies in complex commercial disputes. Rachel started her career at a boutique Bay Area plaintiffs’ class action firm and brings the unique perspective she gained prosecuting civil cases to her current practice.
In addition to her litigation practice, Rachel also conducts internal investigations. She has conducted multiple investigations on behalf of large universities, investigating both workplace misconduct and matters arising from student complaints. She actively participates in AWI and serves as a co-leader of the AWI Oakland local circle for AWI investigators.
Rachel is very committed to pro bono work and maintains an active pro bono practice. In 2019, Rachel helped a Salvadorean obtain asylum. As part of that effort, Rachel led a team of attorneys in multiple offices and conducted her client’s direct examination at an immigration court in Texas. Rachel was also recognized as an Outstanding Volunteer by the Justice & Diversity Center of the Bar Association of San Francisco for her work on behalf of a prisoner in a Section 1983 civil rights case, which resulted in a favorable settlement on the prisoner’s behalf.
