“It’s an honor to be included among this group that exemplifies the best in our field,” said Mr. DeRose, a member of the firm’s business litigation team who represents plaintiffs and defendants in complex commercial and business disputes before courts and in arbitrations across the nation. Among other current matters, he is playing a leading role with a multistate coalition in an antitrust case against Google for alleged monopoly and deceptive acts in its multibillion-dollar ad tech business.

According to Lawdragon editors, this year’s honorees are “the advisors who negotiate deals that pass regulatory scrutiny, battle for consumers as well as companies in massive competition contests and navigate the frameworks of numerous countries and markets for global forces.”

Selection is based on extensive research of those lawyers who have made a significant impact, with particular emphasis on current or recent cases.

“We’re extremely proud of Zeke and his leadership role as well as the meaningful ways he successfully represents our clients,” said firm founder Mark Lanier. “His work continues to effect change in important cases affecting many, often vulnerable, people.”

Mr. DeRose has received numerous other professional honors from The Best Lawyers in America, Texas Super Lawyers, and the National Trial Lawyers.
