The publishers of the 2026 Chambers USA guide to the country’s top attorneys are recognizing experienced trial lawyers Amir Alavi, Demetrios Anaipakos, and the entire team at Houston’s Alavi Anaipakos for their work in significant intellectual property lawsuits.
Mr. Alavi, Mr. Anaipakos, and the firm have continued to earn selections in the annual Chambers guide since Alavi Anaipakos was launched four years ago. Since then, the firm has continued to build its deep bench of trial-tested attorneys while taking on some of the world’s largest companies and law firms.
One client praised Alavi Anaipakos for its ability to “handle complex litigation within a short amount of time,” while another said, “What sets the firm apart is their advocacy at trial and knowledge of patent law.”
Another client told the London-based guide that Alavi Anaipakos is “amazing at what they do. Their technical skills are better than other firms we use.” The publication’s editors noted Alavi Anaipakos’s “experienced trial lawyers who handle high-stakes litigation in a range of industries.”
Earlier this year, Alavi Anaipakos helped Arkansas-based Safe Foods win a crucial ruling before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., that upheld an earlier court decision that the firm won on the company’s behalf in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Mr. Alavi led the firm’s work for Safe Foods with fellow firm attorneys Scott Clark and Steve Jugle.
The Chambers USA rankings are based on independent research that assesses lawyers’ technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, diligence, commitment, case history, and other relevant factors, as determined through interviews with clients and case opponents.
