Mr. Singh is an accomplished appellate advocate for plaintiffs, including whistleblowers and also victims of terrorist attacks, human trafficking, air crashes, pharmaceutical product defects, and civil rights violations. He has argued four cases in the Supreme Court of the United States, where he made history as the first turbaned Sikh to ever argue—as well as more than a dozen cases in federal and state appellate courts, with an overwhelmingly positive win/loss record. Indeed, Mr. Singh has not only won each of his four Supreme Court cases, he won the vote of every single Justice in each of those cases.
Through his fifteen years of experience presenting arguments to the most demanding judges in opposition to the best lawyers the defense bar has to offer, Mr. Singh has developed a deep understanding of the law, including an ability to anticipate trends and shape them through skilled advocacy. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan has described him as “an awesome lawyer,” and his co-counsel in several high-stakes cases commented that Mr. Singh’s advocacy “transformed our trial court and appellate briefings into some of the best exemplars of written advocacy I have ever had the privilege of signing,” and that he “is the best oralist I have known,” with the ability to “change an obviously hostile judge’s mind” at argument.
Outside of his legal practice, Mr. Singh makes frequent panel appearances to discuss legal developments, and also serves on the President’s Council of Taxpayers Against Fraud, as well as the Advisory Board of the Federal Bar Association’s Qui Tam Section, which hosts a regular video podcast of his called The Rounds: FCA News with Tejinder Singh. For several years, Mr. Singh also taught Supreme Court litigation at Harvard Law School.
Prior to joining Sparacino PLLC, Mr. Singh was a partner at a prominent Supreme Court and appellate litigation boutique. Before that, he clerked in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit for the honorable Diana Motz.
Mr. Singh graduated from Harvard Law School cum laude in 2008, where he was named the best oralist in the Ames Moot Court Competition, and served as Editor in Chief of the Harvard Law and Policy Review. Before that, he received a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, with a minor in Business Administration, from U.C. Berkeley, where he was also a successful collegiate policy debater.
Mr. Singh is admitted to the bars of the District of Columbia, Maryland, and New York, as well as the Supreme Court of the United States, the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, D.C., and Federal Circuits, along with the U.S. District Courts for the Districts of Maryland as well as the Northern and Eastern Districts of New York.
