Research for this recognition is based on client interviews and prioritizes firms that are the first out with thought leadership and targeted business development.
Their Most Feared in Litigation list highlights 46 firms that are valorous, savvy and super smart, energized, mobilized and unabating in litigation. The most fearsome firms were selected based on interviews with legal decision makers about which firms they don’t want to see on the other side of the table in litigation.
