Vivek Chopra

Vivek Chopra regularly counsels clients regarding policy language, renewal of insurance, and securing payment of claims without resort to litigation under all types of insurance policies. Vivek represents some of the largest companies in the world, including 3M, Hawaiian Electric Company, Amazon, Western Digital, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and Lendlease. He routinely speaks on insurance coverage issues and trial practice at industry and bar conferences, including the Association of Corporate Counsel’s national conference and the American Bar Association Insurance Coverage Litigation Committee’s CLE meetings.

Prior to his work in private practice, Vivek served as an Assistant State's Attorney with the Montgomery County, Maryland State's Attorney's Office. In this position, he successfully investigated and prosecuted a wide range of crimes, including fraud and homicide; conducted numerous grand jury investigations, and represented the state as first chair in numerous jury and bench trials.

In 2006, Vivek was the co-lead prosecutor for the Montgomery County Sniper Prosecution Taskforce. He organized and managed the operations of a team of FBI, ATF, and local law enforcement agents, and conducted the month-long trial of Washington, D.C.-area sniper John Allen Muhammad.

On a pro bono basis, Vivek represents juveniles charged as adults in cases involving felonies. He has repeatedly succeeded in arguing for the suppression of confessions made by minors in violation of their Fifth Amendment rights, and his defense of a child in Prince George’s County, Maryland, resulted in reductions in the length of pretrial incarceration of children charged as adults. Vivek also represents individuals and families in deportation and removal proceedings.
