Biography
Hassan Zavareei earned his law degree from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall) in 1995, where he graduated as a member of the Order of the Coif.
Mr. Zavareei graduated cum laude from Duke University in 1990, with degrees in Comparative Area Studies and Russian.
After graduation from Boalt Hall, Mr. Zavareei joined the Washington, D.C. office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, one of the nation’s premier law firms. In April of 2002, Mr. Zavareei became a founding partner of Tycko & Zavareei LLP.
Mr. Zavareei has handled numerous trials and appeals in state and federal courts across the nation in a wide range of practice areas. In his civil rights practice, Mr. Zavareei represents individuals, groups of employees, and tenant associations in employment and fair housing litigation. Since co-founding Tycko & Zavareei LLP in 2002, Mr. Zavareei has obtained substantial judgments and settlements for his civil rights clients.
In a recent appeal he argued before the Fifth Circuit, Mr. Zavareei successfully overturned an injunction that infringed on his client’s First Amendment rights to free speech.
Mr. Zavareei is currently representing defrauded students and a nationally known test preparation business in high profile trademark, copyright, and unfair competition litigation in California, Texas, and the District of Columbia.
Mr. Zavareei also has significant experience and success in litigating nationwide class actions on behalf of plaintiffs and defendants. For instance, Mr. Zavareei managed the defense of a nationwide class action brought against a major insurance carrier, and, along with co-counsel, negotiated a nationwide class settlement. Mr. Zavareei successfully obtained court approval of the settlement, and supervised the administration of the multi-million dollar settlement fund. Mr. Zavareei is currently litigating several class action lawsuits on behalf of injured consumers.
As part of his environmental and administrative law practice, Mr. Zavareei has obtained significant victories for his municipal and Indian Tribe clients in challenges to federal rulemakings, and negotiated complex settlements in CERCLA cases on behalf of Fortune 500 clients.

Hassan A. Zavareei's Lawyer Endorsements
"Hassan does big, important work well. He's also a good guy. If you're lucky enough to have him take your case, good for you."
"One of the best and brightest attorneys in the country."
"I have referred matters to Hassan and always look forward to any opportunity to work with him on a case. Hassan is a top-notch attorney with a big firm pedigree, but with a small shop's attention to detail and client service. He also gets results. Hassan has deftly handled both plaintiffs' and defense-side work."
"Hassan is an excellent lawyer, plain and simple. He's the rare talent who embraces not only the day-to-day hard work that goes into litigation, but also grasps the big picture necessary to win cases. Hassan is also extremely client-driven and always has the client's end game in mind. I highly endorse Hassan."
"I've known Hassan for nearly 25 years. He is one of the brightest and quickest people I’ve ever known. His ability to communicate is unparalleled and he has the uncanny ability to quickly hone in on the essential issue in a complex legal problem and articulate it to a layperson (or a jury) in understandable terms. He has great passion for his work, reverence for the profession of law, and an insatiable desire to learn everything he can about the subject matter of each case. He’s a fierce advocate who is always prepared to go to battle if needed, but also adept at creatively negotiating settlements with good outcomes for his clients. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
"I have been co-counsel with Hassan on a couple complex litigation matters. He is a real strategic thinker and effective litigator. Every move is made with a view toward achieving the client's ultimate goals. A consumate professional who is dedicated to his clients and the practice of law."
"Hassan and I have worked together on various trademark infringement matters in district court and before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He is a very experienced litigator with great instincts and deep knowledge of trademark law."
"Mr. Zavareei and I have worked closely together on several highly complex cases. I have seen him perform at the highest levels under the most intense and pressure-filled circumstances. He is a tireless and fearless advocate. His ability to quickly learn and master facts and law, no matter how obscure or challenging, is exceptional. He is one of the sharpest attorneys I have ever worked with. Mr. Zavareei is also a battle-tested trial lawyer who has achieved remarkable results for his clients. When confronted with high-stakes litigation, he is someone you would want in your foxhole."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
