01 / Biography
Employment and civil litigation in Pittsburgh.
Prabhu Narahari is a Bulldog Law employment and civil litigation attorney based in Pittsburgh. Since beginning his legal practice in 2017, he has focused much of his work on helping employees protect their rights in matters involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, wage disputes, and other workplace mistreatment. His broader civil practice includes unemployment appeals, business disputes, and contract matters.
Prabhu approaches litigation directly and strategically. He understands that a workplace or business dispute can put a client's job, income, reputation, and peace of mind at risk. His work centers on helping clients understand the process, the available options, the risks, and the reason behind each decision so that legal strategy never feels like a black box.
Before joining Bulldog, Prabhu helped build the Pittsburgh firm that became Manes & Narahari LLC. He joined the practice in 2017, became a partner in 2019, and became a name partner in 2020. He earned both his law degree and his undergraduate degree from the University of Pittsburgh, completing a Certificate of Advanced Study in Civil Litigation and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. That psychology background informs how he evaluates motivation, credibility, conflict, negotiation, and trial preparation.
