A focused litigation boutique
Built around judgment, not headcount.
Mizene PLLC is a Washington, D.C.–based, single-attorney practice founded in 2001. It undertakes selected matters requiring close factual analysis, creative legal strategy and sustained attention.
Our approach
Direct responsibility
At Mizene, clients work directly with the lawyer responsible for their representation. Engagements are selected with an emphasis on substantive complexity, meaningful stakes and the opportunity to advance a compelling position through rigorous preparation and advocacy.
Litigation informed by broader experience
Jamil Zouaoui's professional background connects U.S. litigation with international legal reform, project finance, commercial transactions and alternative dispute resolution. That perspective is particularly useful when disputes involve intricate transactions, competing business narratives or multiple legal systems.
Appropriate resources for each engagement
As a boutique practice, Mizene may work with independent specialists or co-counsel where needed and with appropriate client arrangements. The firm does not represent itself as a multi-lawyer partnership.
Focused representation is a choice about responsibility and attention—not a claim that every matter is appropriate for a solo practice.
