Biography
Arti Bhimani is a pioneering and innovative litigator. Over the last couple of decades since graduating from UCLA School of Law and prior to forming Bhimani Law, Arti worked at large, multinational law firms and, most recently, served as Deputy General Counsel in charge of litigation for a leading global healthcare provider that generates over 1.5 billion in annual revenue and that grew over 500% during her stewardship. Given the breadth and depth of her experience – having represented plaintiffs and defendants, fortune 500 companies and individuals, and led complex class actions and single plaintiff torts – Arti is uniquely situated to understand how best to effectuate the goals of her clients.
Arti has overseen national and international litigation and supervised the work of over 50 law firms, and personally litigated numerous matters in state and federal court involving financial elder abuse, trust contests, employment discrimination, contracting practices, writs, real estate law, False Claims Act and other personal and business disputes. She manages all aspects of litigation from inception through trial, including drafting pleadings; taking and defending lay and expert witness depositions; conducting witness interviews; discovery; drafting and arguing dispositive motions, alternative dispute resolution, and trying cases before juries, judges and arbitrators. Arti has also argued in state appellate courts in California and Ohio and appeared before the California Supreme Court.
Arti spends her free time as a soccer referee and watching her three sons play soccer and basketball. When not writing legal briefs, Arti documents her family history and writes about the life of her great maternal grandmother. Arti is serious about board games and can often be found playing a heated match of Scattegories or Taboo.
