Ms. Kothari to lead the organization of 33 chapters and over 12,000 members

Brasher Law Firm, PLLC, is pleased to announce that firm partner Nishi Kothari has been elected president of the South Asian Bar Association of North America (SABA), an organization with 33 chapters in the United States and Canada and a membership of more than 12,000 legal professionals.  

“Words can’t express how grateful I am to everyone who helped make this possible,” said Ms. Kothari. “The theme for our recent SABA conference in Denver was ‘Blazing New Trails’ and that is exactly what we intend to do. I plan to hit the ground running and get as much of our agenda across the finish line as possible while serving in this position.” 

Ms. Kothari previously served SABA as vice president of advocacy and chair of its advocacy committee. This past year she has served as President-Elect. Ms. Kothari said her vision for SABA North America is to broaden its global reach, strengthening ties, alliances, and partnerships with South Asian legal communities across the world, helping them build the foundation for their own version of SABA communities. 

“This is a critical juncture in American history with many people in our community concerned about the possibility of raids in their homes, schools, and places of worship. It is important now, more than ever, to ensure we have global partnerships to help our community in any way possible,” she said. 

Brasher Law Firm Founder Clint Brasher and his wife Wendy Brasher were both on hand for the inauguration and swearing-in ceremony in Denver. 

“Nishi is an amazing attorney and, more importantly, an amazing person,” said Mr. Brasher. “She has been a rock-solid foundation to everything we do at our firm, and she will bring that same spirit of excellence to her work with SABA.”  

Ms. Kothari is an experienced litigator who focuses her practice on bad faith insurance claims, commercial litigation, and personal injury matters. She has been singled out for excellence by various leading legal guides including Best Lawyers, Lawdragon, and Super Lawyers. She is also board certified in insurance law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. This distinction requires at least five years as an active member in good standing of the State Bar of Texas, at least three years of Texas insurance law experience, vetted references from judges and other attorneys, as well as successfully passing a comprehensive six-hour exam.
