Four Maceira Zayas attorneys were selected by their peers for inclusion in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in Puerto Rico™, recognized across three practice areas. The firm had one attorney in the 2026 edition.
Best Lawyers® has selected lawyers through peer review alone since its first edition in 1983. Inclusion rests on confidential evaluations by other lawyers who practice in the same areas and the same jurisdiction, and no fee is required or permitted to be listed. By Best Lawyers' own count, fewer than three percent of lawyers in private practice worldwide are recognized.
Ms. Acevedo-Jiménez advises on government contracts, corporate transactions and commercial agreements, including procurement and compliance work for public-private partnership operators.
Ms. Abreu Acevedo practices in federal litigation and appeals. Before joining Maceira Zayas she served as Assistant Solicitor General of Puerto Rico, representing the Commonwealth and its instrumentalities in federal litigation and appeals, and clerked for Chief Judge Dora L. Irizarry of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. This is her first Best Lawyers recognition.
Justice Rivera García served fourteen years as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, from 2010 to 2024, after serving on the Court of Appeals and the Court of First Instance. He joined the firm as Special Counsel after leaving the bench and practices in appellate matters, administrative law and compliance.
Mr. Maceira Zayas is the firm's Managing Member. His practice covers administrative and regulatory law, as well as infrastructure and public-private partnerships. He is admitted to practice in Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He served as Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Ports Authority and was recognized in Corporate and M&A Law in the 2026 edition.
