The BTI Litigation Outlook 2022:
Post-Pandemic and Beyond

The spending surge is about to begin. Clients are poised to tackle their growing backlog of litigation — and take on the growing new case load as well. This takes time and money — and the money is starting to flow to outside counsel. 

Here’s how the litigation world is shaping for up 2022:

  • Look for a 6.4% increase in outside counsel spending
  • Spending is growing faster than the caseload — meaning more money per case
  • The largest segments are growing much faster than all others
  • Key practices are enjoying a rebound in spending
  • 5 industries spending a ton on litigation
  • Clients plan to use fewer law firms for their bigger budgets — the stakes have never been higher
