Joshua Riley specializes in class action litigation, devoting much of his time to a pro bono civil rights lawsuit brought on behalf of Florida's 1.6 million Medicaid-eligible children to ensure that they have access to health care. He is also involved in class action litigation brought to vindicate consumers' and workers' rights under various state and federal laws.

Mr. Riley graduated summa cum laude from the College of William & Mary before serving as a policy analyst and speechwriter with the U.S. Department of Labor. He then attended Harvard Law School, from which he graduated magna cum laude and was presented with the Dean's Award for Community Leadership in recognition of his involvement in campus life.

While at Harvard, Mr. Riley assumed numerous pro bono projects and clinical positions. He served as a law clerk with the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions where he handled various matters involving employment legislation. He also worked with the Massachusetts Division of Unemployment Assistance, representing the Commonwealth in actions seeking judicial review of its administrative decisions. Following Hurricane Katrina, Mr. Riley spent time working at a legal aid clinic in New Orleans on matters affecting that city's workers.
