MIAMI — Rivero Mestre announced today that the firm has been recognized by Chambers & Partners in the 2022 edition of Chambers USA as a Band-1 firm in the category Litigation: General Commercial: The Elite in Florida. Chambers also recognized partners Andrés Rivero, Jorge A. Mestre, and Amanda McGovern for General Commercial Litigation.

Amanda is recognized as a top-tier, Band-1 litigator. She is “a superstar who handles really big litigation.”

Andrés has been recognized by Chambers since 2014. He too is ranked a Band-1 litigator. One commentator states, “he’s a brilliant lawyer.”

Jorge has also been recognized by Chambers for the past eight years. According to a knowledgeable source, “a smart lawyer who will do whatever it takes to win.” Another says “an excellent litigator who also provides great advice on corporate, commercial and securities matters.”

According to a Chambers USA’s referee interview regarding the firm, “they do an excellent job on cross-border issues.” Another referee says “the firm’s lawyers are responsive and helpful, but most importantly a pleasure to work with.” One more says “a team of exceptional lawyers with significant depth when dealing with complex commercial matters.”

Chambers USA annually ranks the work of leading U.S.-based law firms and their attorneys in different practice areas. Selection to these rankings is based on a thorough “assessment of a firm’s work and opinions from external market sources, with an emphasis on client feedback” that demonstrates “sustained excellence.”

The awards were based in part on the representation of Dr. Craig Wright, also known as Satoshi Nakamoto (the inventor of Bitcoin), in a $600 billion trial that the media called “the trial of the century.” The lawsuit alleged that David Kleiman had a partnership with Dr. Wright to invent and mine Bitcoin, thereby generating an alleged 50% stake in the cryptocurrency technology. After a month-long trial and seven days of jury deliberation, in a case that was widely thought to be unwinnable, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Dr. Wright. The jury found that Dr. Wright was not Kleiman’s business partner and that Kleiman’s estate was entitled to none of the multibillion-dollar Satoshi Nakamoto fortune.

During the trial, the team presented compelling evidence that Dr. Wright is the sole inventor of Bitcoin and is in fact Satoshi Nakamoto. The victory was covered in more than 400 articles by publications across the world including Law.com, the BBC, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Al Jazeera, the Miami Herald, and the Associated Press.

In accepting the award yesterday evening at the Rusty Pelican (Key Biscayne), Amanda thanked her trial team—Andres Rivero, Jorge Mestre, Zalman Kass, Daniela Tenjido, and Alison Henry.

“The upside of trial and tribulation: It is so hard at different points in your career, you ask yourself, can I do what I love to do while raising my children, being my authentic self? For me, this award answers that question,” Amanda said. “And I hope it answers the question for my children, and for the next generation of lawyers, particularly women, with an unequivocal ‘yes you can.’”

The awards were announced on May 19, 2022, at the DBR’s Florida Legal Awards event at the Rusty Pelican (Key Biscayne).
