DiCello Levitt’s Diandra “Fu” Debrosse Named to Lawdragon’s 500 Leading Lawyers in America

Jan 13, 2025

Diandra “Fu” Debrosse has been named to The 2025 Lawdragon 500 Leading Lawyers in America list, the 20th edition of the organization’s flagship guide.

Fu is the managing partner of DiCello Levitt’s Birmingham office, chair of the firm’s Mass Torts Practice Group, and co-chair of its Civil and Human Rights Litigation Practice Group. Widely known as a relentless client advocate, Fu fights passionately for individuals and public entities injured by wrongful conduct, whether by defective medical devices or drugs, environmental contamination, corporate misconduct, or civil rights abuse.

In May 2022, Fu made legal history by becoming the first Black woman ever appointed plaintiffs’ co-lead counsel in a multidistrict litigation—the massive products liability case against two of the world’s largest infant formula manufacturers, Abbott Laboratories and Mead Johnson—which she followed with another groundbreaking appointment, in the MDL against L’Oréal and other makers of harmful hair relaxer products marketed primarily to Black and Latina women. Nationally recognized as a powerhouse in mass torts, class actions, products liability, discrimination, and sexual assault claims, Fu has recovered nearly $1 billion in damages for her clients.

She has been recognized by several industry authorities, including being named one of America’s Top 200 Lawyers of 2024 by Forbes, Managing Partner of the Year by ALM’s Southeastern Legal Awards Program, and to the Elite Women of the Plaintiffs Bar by The National Law Journal, among many other leading recognitions.
