Sarah Pike

Sarah Almond Pike joined Susman Godfrey after clerking for Judge M. Margaret McKeown on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and for then‑Chief Judge Dana M. Sabraw of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. Those experiences inform Sarah’s work in the federal courts and her approach to complex litigation.

Sarah previously practiced at a boutique plaintiff side firm, guiding her clients through litigation and mediation to successful outcomes. She began her legal career as a Berkeley Law Public Interest Fellow, where she launched a virtual workers’ rights clinic at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, represented individual workers, and filed impact litigation. Prior to law school, Sarah served as Editor-in-Chief of a small educational publishing group.

Sarah is an active member of the legal community. She has served on the Board of Directors for the Federal Bar Association, San Diego Chapter; judged mock trial competitions; and volunteered pro bono to help survivors of domestic violence obtain restraining orders. In 2025, Sarah received the Justice in Action award from the South Asian Bar Association–San Diego for contributions to the Afghan Outreach Project.

Sarah earned her J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law (Order of the Coif), where she served as an Articles Editor of the California Law Review and a teaching assistant in Legal Research and Writing.
