More litigation complexity equals more opportunity. Today’s market is filled to the brim with complexity.
BTI research reveals a select group of 43 law firms boosted their reputation — and delivery — to move upmarket in litigation. This is down from 54 BTI Upmarket Movers last year. It’s harder to move up the market than last year.
These upmarket firms increased their status as clients first choice and preferred providers.
These BTI Upmarket Movers know clients want ideas – new approaches to novel matters – and for old matters as well. These firms are becoming more aggressive as clients face more demanding opponents. It is far from an easy world. We spell all this out in BTI Litigation Outlook 2025: More Complexity, More Growth, More Spending.
Please join me in congratulating the firms for upgrading their reputation faster than other firms in one of the most lucrative litigation markets to come along in years:
