Yaman Desai

Yaman is a dedicated trial lawyer committed to achieving the best outcomes for his clients. He is strategic, disciplined, and astute. And he brings those traits to his cases, securing successful outcomes in state and federal courts and arbitral panels across the country.

Yaman has secured multi-million-dollar jury verdicts, early summary judgment and motion to dismiss victories, and wins spanning the spectrum in between. In the short existence of the Texas business Courts, Yaman has already obtained multiple summary judgments, saving his clients from over $100 million in potential liability. His experience and expertise in a wide array of industries—ranging from oil and gas to college sports—and a diverse set of cases—including antitrust, partnership disputes, and class actions—is invaluable to his clients. 

Yaman graduated from The University of Texas School of Law with honors, where he was also an Associate Editor on the Texas Law Review and a member of the Legal Eagles flag football team. He also earned his undergraduate degree from The University of Texas, obtaining a B.A. in Government with a minor in History.

Prior to law school, Yaman was active in civic engagement, leading voter registration efforts and lobbying the Texas Legislature on higher education issues.

Today, Yaman lives in Dallas with his wife Khushbu (a fellow UT grad) and daughter Alina. They are huge Texas sports fans and love attending football, basketball, and baseball games whenever they can.
