March 30, 2022 Natalie Posgate

Ahmad, Zavitsanos, Anaipakos, Alavi & Mensing has whittled the firm’s name from 45 characters to 27 characters with the departure of name partners Demetrios Anaipakos and Amir Alavi, firm leadership said Wednesday. 

In a statement issued to The Texas Lawbook on Wednesday afternoon, name partner John Zavitsanos confirmed that Anaipakos and Alavi, who both specialize in intellectual property litigation, are no longer with the Houston-based litigation boutique firm, that the firm will still be branded as AZA and that the firm’s new full name will be Ahmad, Zavitsanos & Mensing.
