Ahmad, Zavitsanos, Anaipakos, Alavi & Mensing P.C. (AZA) is a Houston-based law firm with an accomplished track record representing plaintiffs and defendants in complex commercial litigation matters. The firm’s seasoned attorneys provide clients with extensive expertise in internal corporate investigations, non-compete covenants and trade secret claims, employment litigation, oil & gas and energy law, products liability and catastrophic personal injuries, and real estate and construction litigation.
AZA has earned national recognition as an “awesome opponent" based on a survey of general counsel asked what firms they hope their companies never have to face in court. AZA was one of just 32 firms in the U.S. singled out in the survey of 240 different corporate counsel conducted by BTI Consulting.
AZA also was recognized as one of the top law firms in Houston following a national survey conducted by the editors of U.S. News & World Report and The Best Lawyers in America.
In addition to the firm-wide recognition, many AZA attorneys have earned individual honors based on nominations from competing lawyers. Name partners Joe Ahmad, John Zavitsanos and Demetrios Anaipakos have been featured among The Best Lawyers in America for seven consecutive years.
The three name partners, along with fellow name partner Amir Alavi, also have routinely earned spots on the Texas Super Lawyers listing of the state’s best lawyers, with Mr. Ahmad and Mr. Zavitsanos both earning special distinction among the Top 100 attorneys in Houston. All four also have earned AV® Preeminent™ or BV® Distinguished™ Peer Review Ratings from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rankings available.
