How David Lowe took on Pinterest, Tesla, and Rivian to become Silicon Valley’s go-to lawyer

The tech world has no shortage of lawsuits, from patent disputes to antitrust. But there’s something unique about the recent string of high-profile complaints filed against some of the industry’s buzziest companies: Tesla, Pinterest, and Rivian. All were brought by female former employees, each alleges some form of gender discrimination, and unlike many similar suits in the past, the plaintiffs in each of these cases made their claims very, very public. There is another notable connection: All of the complaints were filed by the same attorney, David Lowe, of San Francisco–based employment law firm Rudy Exelrod Zieff & Lowe.

Lowe, who recently filed six suits against Tesla in a single month, has emerged as a go-to for tech employees—from C-level executives to those on the factory front lines—who say they’ve been wronged by their multibillion-dollar employers. He and his firm have been doing this work for decades, but are now at the forefront of what could become a game-changing shift in how these cases are handled. It’s a moment that’s bringing an intense new spotlight to claims of company misbehavior—and to the man prosecuting them.
