I became a lawyer because I wanted to use my strategic abilities to help others solve problems; I remain a lawyer because of the satisfaction of working with clients who are on the cutting edge of innovation and shaping the world around them. And that’s why I founded Innovista Law.. My telecommunications practice has run the gamut, but my most challenging and rewarding work involves competitive carriers that are taking on the established incumbents through new service offerings or business models. I have also defended several companies on class action cases filed under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). My telecommunications work has taken me across the country and even into foreign nations. These multi-prong disputes often involve challenges in federal and state courts, as well as before the Federal Communications Commission and state regulatory agencies. They require a deep understanding of litigation strategy and regulatory policymaking as well as technical knowledge. I have also helped give voice to competitive carriers on issues of national importance, including representing national trade associations on issues involving the regulation of the open Internet and on access charge reform.. Working with clients that are at the intersection of technology and social innovation to create great positive impact is another area that has always inspired me. In this arena, I have been fortunate to work with the U.S. Department of State on projects in Brazil, to lead a national conference with the Corporation on National and Community Service around technology and social impact, to work with companies that are bringing the innovative broadband services to the most rural parts of our country, and to collaborate with the nation’s leading producer of educational and information television programming to impact lives through technology.. Previous Work. Prior to starting Innovista Law, I was an attorney in the Telecommunications Pracitce Group at Arent Fox. I have also served as director of programs and general counsel for a social enterprise focused on building the capacity of economically distressed communities and on preparing college students for successful careers as leaders of social sector organizations.

Deepak Gupta is the founding principal of Gupta Wessler PLLC, a national appellate litigation boutique based in Washington, DC. He specializes in Supreme Court and appellate litigation on behalf of plaintiffs, with an emphasis on class actions, consumers’ and workers’ rights, and constitutional law. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Law at both Georgetown and American universities, teaching courses on public interest and appellate advocacy.. Deepak has briefed or argued cases on a wide range of issues before the U.S. Supreme Court, federal appellate and district courts nationwide, and seven state supreme courts. He argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion (2011), a landmark case at the intersection of arbitration, preemption and class actions that has been described by the Washington Post as “one of the court’s most important on consumer rights in years” and by the Federalist Society as “one of the most controversial Supreme Court decisions in many years.” Most recently, in February 2013, he argued before the Supreme Court on behalf of the plaintiffs in McBurney v. Young, a pending constitutional challenge to Virginia’s bar on nonresidents’ right to access public records.. Before leaving government to start his own firm, Deepak served as Senior Litigation Counsel and Senior Counsel for Enforcement Strategy at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau during the new federal agency’s historic founding in 2011-2012. As the first appellate litigator hired under the leadership of Professor Elizabeth Warren, he was instrumental in launching the agency’s amicus program, defending its regulations in court, and working with the Solicitor General’s office on Supreme Court matters. His duties also included providing advice to top officials on legal issues including preemption, arbitration, and administrative and constitutional law.. For seven years previously, Deepak was an attorney at Public Citizen, where he founded and directed the organization’s Consumer Justice Project, collaborating with advocates nationwide on class actions and appeals.

I formed my firm in July 2003 to undertake a pro bono matter matter that I could not undertake pro bono with my prior firm. Since then, I have worked primarily on Clean Air Act issues and administrative-law challenges to actions by federal agencies, including EPA, HHS, FDA, and DOE.
My full resume is available at
My goals are to continue to provide high-caliber legal respresentation with flexible billing arrangements, while having time to devote to my family. Environmentally, I have significant experience in the Clean Air Act, especially the preemption of state and local vehicular standards, as well as TSCA and FIFRA. With civil rights, I am the national expert (through lack of any competition) on the administrative history of federal "Title IX" regulations.Beyond these specific substantive areas, I work extensively in the general area of judicial review of agency action under the APA, Section 1983, and their state-law equivalents.
