HOUSTON – For the ninth year in a row, commercial litigation and intellectual property firm AZA is being recognized among the nation’s Best Law Firms in 2021 by U.S. News & World Report and The Best Lawyers in America. 

One of the firm’s clients, the CEO of a sealing products company, said of AZA’s lawyers: “(They) are the very best civil trial lawyers in Texas. They are experts at litigation strategy, and the timely and effective execution of that strategy. They are very thorough, and they conduct discovery in a manner that is focused on its best use at trial. They are truly my ‘go to’ firm for any complex civil litigation matter.” 

Client evaluations are a crucial element for the researchers in building their prestigious annual list. The rigorous selection process includes peer review from other attorneys in the same practice areas. AZA is listed in the top tier of Houston-area metropolitan law firms for commercial litigation in the 2021 guide.

• AZA has “the sharpest lawyers I’ve ever worked within any practice area, not just commercial litigation. The way … the team thinks, operates and executes is unmatched,” said an AZA client. 
• AZA “lawyers are well known for being able to parachute in to complex cases that are in trouble, and heading into trial. They are as smart, hard-working, and collegial as any lawyers I have ever worked with – and they do what it takes to win, always adhering to the highest ethical standards. They are amazing, and I hope to have a very long professional relationship with them. We use them in multiple matters and have recommended them to others,” said another client.
