Partner Anthony E. Maneiro named Rising Star of the Plaintiffs’ Bar by National Law Journal
Published in: The National Law Journal
The National Law Journal has named Partner Anthony Maneiro a Rising Star of the Plaintiffs’ Bar as part of its Elite Trial Lawyers awards for 2024.
Mr. Maneiro concentrates on securities, commodities, and antitrust matters. His recent work includes acting as co-lead counsel to the Office of the Attorney General for the State of New Mexico in In re Credit Default Swaps Auctions Litigation, a class action alleging antitrust violations and market manipulation in the credit default swaps market, and representation of the exchange-based class in In re LIBOR-Based Financial Instruments Antitrust Litigation, an antitrust case alleging that defendant banks colluded to misreport and manipulate LIBOR. This litigation has resulted in settlements totaling $190.45 million, which collectively represent the largest historical class-wide recovery for a “futures only” settlement class.
“I am honored to be recognized by the National Law Journal and congratulate all of this year’s Elite Trial Lawyers. I’m proud to be part of this group of excellent attorneys,” said Mr. Maneiro.
Through its awards, The National Law Journal, a prominent legal publication, recognizes law firms’ outstanding plaintiffs work in a high-stakes bench or jury trial or in a major settlement. Winners must have scored a significant win during the contest period and must also be able to show an impressive track record of wins over the last three to five years. Firms must have devoted at least 50% of their litigation resources to plaintiffs work and shown innovative approaches to case resolution.
The announcement, and all of this year’s winners, can be found here.
