Asim Badaruzzaman is the chair of the Firm’s Mass Tort Practice Group and the partner-in-charge of the Firm’s New Jersey office. He represents clients harmed by dangerous pharmaceutical drugs, defective medical devices and consumer products, and environmental contamination. With extensive experience in high-stakes, complex litigation matters, Asim has helped clients recover over $100 million from major pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers. Asim currently serves as co-lead counsel in the New Jersey multicounty litigation (In Re: Roundup Litigation, Case No. 642) for lawsuits related to the weedkiller Roundup.

In line with the Firm’s values, Asim believes in providing client-focused representation with excellence, creativity, collaboration, and conscientiousness. He understands that when clients hire Sbaiti & Company after being injured by the misconduct of large, powerful corporations, they rely on him and the Firm’s talented team to passionately advocate for their interests and achieve the best possible results. Asim takes this great responsibility seriously and aims to deliver a top-tier experience to the Firm’s clients, emphasizing diligence, communication, compassion, and respect.

Before joining Sbaiti & Company, Asim practiced mass tort litigation at a prestigious national plaintiffs’ firm for over twelve years and was involved in some of the most high-profile product liability cases. In addition to litigating these cases in federal and state courts across the country, he successfully negotiated settlements in many complex matters. One of Asim’s particular interests is designing and administering settlement programs that are fair and equitable and provide an efficient mechanism for plaintiffs to obtain a recovery in global and smaller aggregate settlements.

Asim earned his bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University and his law degree from Seton Hall University School of Law. He became interested in advocating for victims early in his legal career. While at Seton Hall, he participated in the Civil Litigation Clinic as part of a team representing inmates at one of New Jersey’s largest county jails in a federal lawsuit alleging poor and inhumane living conditions. Asim also interned at the school’s Center for Social Justice, where he helped represent victims of human trafficking and predatory lending.
