We hope that you find this report useful and informative. If you do, it is due to the hundreds of people who helped us in the research, and we would like to sign off by thanking them for their kindness, helpfulness and insight, which made it a pleasure to be part of this undertaking.

Zeiler Floyd Zadkovich is an international law firm with offices in New York, Vienna, London, Chicago, Sydney and Houston. Zeiler Floyd Zadkovich was established in September 2020, following the merge between zeiler.part ners and Floyd Zadkovich. The firm specializes in national and international arbitration proceedings, as well as in liti gation and advisory work in the field of employment law, and boasts strong sector expertise in energy and construction, shipping and marine, as well as logistics and transportation.

The firm’s partners are highly regarded for their lead ership and work as arbitration counsel and arbitrators. Combined, they have handled more than 500 arbitrations, including numerous high-profile cases.

The partners at Zeiler Floyd Zadkovich are leading thinkers in arbitration, who frequently publish in academic journals, speak at national and international conferences and are involved in multiple arbitration organizations.

What makes ZFZ stand out is the team’s industry knowl edge, notably their thorough understanding of the energy, shipping, construction, commodities and insurance sectors, as well as its position to provide fully integrated services throughout its offices located in major international arbi tration hubs. That complements a strong track record of resolving post-M&A cases, corporate disputes, intellectual property and competition law disputes.

Zeiler Floyd Zadkovich specializes in many fields within its arbitration practice, including:

International Commercial Arbitration

The firm’s partners regularly act as counsel in commer cial arbitration proceedings and have handled scores of disputes under all major arbitration rules (ICC, AAA, LCIA, UNCITRAL, VIAC, DIS, SCC, SCAI, LMAA, SMA, GAFTA, FOSFA, SIAC, MCCI, CIETAC, HKIAC and ACICA rules) as well as in ad-hoc proceedings. They also frequently sit as arbitrators under the ICC, VIAC, SCAI, SCC, LCIA, UNCITRAL and DIS rules, as well as on ad-hoc panels.

More recently, ZFZ has been involved in arbitrations seated in London, Paris, New York, Singapore, Vienna, The Hague, Doha, Zurich, Munich, Bucharest, Moscow and other arbitral seats. The firm’s arbitration practice spans a multi tude of applicable substantive laws and the team combines thorough knowledge of both common law and civil law tradi tions, as well as public international law.

Investment Arbitration & Investment Protection

The team has developed an extensive investment arbitration practice in Central and Eastern Europe and beyond, with the partners having been and currently involved in some of the region’s high-profile investor-state disputes.

The partners regularly advise both governments and investors on all questions regarding the protection of foreign investments under bilateral and multilateral invest ment treaties. The team’s experience includes arbitration under the ICSID Convention, including the Additional Facility Rules, the SCC Rules and the UNCITRAL Rules.

Annulment and Defence of Arbitral Awards

ZFZ’s partners regularly assist in annulment proceedings and other arbitration-related litigation. They have chal lenged and defended numerous arbitral awards, including before the courts of England and Wales, and various federal and state courts in the United States of America as well as before the Austrian Supreme Court.

Enforcement of Arbitral Awards and Asset Recovery

ZFZ regularly assists clients with the enforcement of arbi tral awards. The team is well versed in the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in Austria, England and the US, as well as project managing enforcement proceedings around the world. The team’s experience also includes serving process abroad as well as locating and securing assets, tangible and intangible.

Domestic Arbitration

Bill Carmody Susman Godfrey LLP

Bill Carmody breaks the mold of what to expect in a trial lawyer. As the head of Susman Godfrey’s New York office, Bill leads a booming bet-the-com pany trial practice – he’s served as lead counsel to industry leaders such as General Electric, Sotheby’s, Uber, TPG, Steve Madden, and industry titans such as Louis Bacon, Daniel Loeb, and Adam Neumann. For plaintiffs, Bill has secured verdicts and settlements in the billions. And, for defendants, he has protected his clients from potential exposure in the billions of dollars.

Carmody is best known for stepping into big high-stakes trials shortly before they are set to begin and getting paid on his results. He’s described as a storyteller with a “preternatural ability” to connect with juries – and “someone whose core skill set is persuading a lay jury in a complex business case.”

Landmark Wins: Bill is regularly at the helm of the biggest litigation wins in the nation.

In what’s been described as the “tech trial of the century” – the epic clash over self-driving car technology that pitted Google/Waymo against Uber – Bill stepped in shortly before trial to defend Uber. Although Waymo sought damages of almost $2 billion, Bill and his team got all of Waymo’s experts’ damages opinions struck. After Bill’s public and private opening statements and the presenta tion of four days of evidence to a federal jury in San Francisco, this high-profile case ended in a favorable settlement.

In one of the largest individual claims to be litigated this century, WeWork founder Adam Neumann turned to Bill as part of a multi-firm trial team after SoftBank withdrew its offer to buy up to $3 Billion in WeWork stock from Mr. Neumann and other shareholders. A week before trial, the case settled as reported by The New York Times.

For GE, Bill successfully tried a complex multi-contract case before a jury, leading to a judg ment in favor of GE worth more than $160 Million.

He is: taking on Google in a highly publicized privacy class action, serving as lead counsel to the City of Baltimore – whose citizens are more likely to die of an opioid overdose than those of nearly any city in the U.S. –in its ongoing opioid litigation,serving as court-ap pointed co-lead counsel in the consolidated antitrust class action arising out of the LIBOR-rate fixing scandal. To date, the action has resulted in settlement recoveries of more than $590 million, and taking on the NFL and DirectTV as co-lead class counsel to plaintiffs in a California MDL class action litigation alleging DirecTV’s exclusive NFL Sunday Ticket package violates federal antitrust laws.

E-DISCOVERY LAWYERS

Editorial policy and selection criteria

Nominees have been selected based on comprehensive, independent survey work with both general counsel and private practitioners worldwide.

Only specialists who have met independent international research criteria are listed.

LEGAL MARKETPLACE ANALYSIS | E-Discovery Lawyers

In this chapter, WWL proudly presents 83 leading e-discovery lawyers currently practising. They have demonstrated the depth and strength of their expertise advising leading corporations, financial institutions and governments on crossborder and domestic e-discovery, information management and admissibility issues.

METHODOLOGY

The Global Elite Thought Leaders are those individuals who received the highest number of nominations from peers, corporate counsel and other market sources this year. Our research has identified them as being truly outstanding practitioners and the very best in their field.

Jeffery A Stec

Berkeley Research Group

Jeff Stec is a managing director, a leader of Berkeley Research Group’s Intellectual Property practice, and a co-leader of its Economics & Damages community.

He has worked extensively over the last seventeen years in the areas of antitrust, finance, intellectual property, and survey research, as both a consulting expert and an expert witness. His engagements typi cally involve the application of economic, financial, statistical, and survey research theory to the collec tion and analysis of data to evaluate the economic impact of decisions made by consumers and firms.

In the area of intellectual property, Dr Stec has conducted economic and econometric analyses to determine the value of IP and the amount of economic damages resulting from patent, trade mark, trade secret, or copyright infringement. He has addressed economic issues such as the appro priate measurement of revenues associated with the use of the infringing IP, the portion of those reve nues that can be attributed to the IP, and whether the apportionment can be regarded as reasonable. He has evaluated economic and survey research issues in the context of Section 337 investigations conducted by the US International Trade Commission. He has evaluated the effects of anticompetitive conduct as it relates to the use of IP. In the context of trade marks and trade dress, he has evaluated issues of secondary meaning, genericness, dilution, and likeli hood of confusion. He has also determined economic damages that have resulted from false advertising and counterfeit claims.

In the area of survey research, Dr Stec has both created and critically evaluated surveys in the context of antitrust and IP engagements. He has developed complex sample designs, designed survey questionnaires, and collected and analyzed survey data, including the derivation of complex vari ance estimates using simulation methods. He has conducted surveys that have been used to determine consumers’ perceptions and actions in the market place, including whether products’ names or trade dress are distinctive, confusing, or generic. He has examined how products are used in the marketplace and how consumers value product features. He has consulted on best survey practices for the design, collection, and analysis of survey data.

In the area of finance, Dr Stec has used finan cial theory and econometrics to conduct analyses to determine asset values and shareholder loss in the context of securities fraud and late trading claims. These analyses have included the use of loss causation and event study paradigms, as well as trading simulation studies. He has examined claims of financial lending discrimination, which have included investigations of the likelihood of discrimination and the potential damages caused by that discrimination. He has used financial theory to determine damages in commercial contract disputes and product liability litigation.
