The Biglaw Firms That Strike Fear In The Hearts Of Opposing Counsel (2025)
Briefly

According to BTI's Michael Rynowecer, 'Top legal decision makers point to 84 law firms they don't want to see on the other side. Only [four] of the 84 law firms clients don't want to litigate against stand out as the most fearsome.' These firms have established themselves as formidable opponents, giving in-house counsels a sense of security as they navigate complex litigation involving high stakes.
The report specifically names Quinn Emanuel as the top firm, marking its third consecutive year in this position. Kirkland & Ellis, Skadden, and Gibson Dunn are also highlighted as the most-feared firms that in-house counsels actively hope to avoid in litigation scenarios. This ranking showcases the intense competition among law firms to be recognized as leaders in litigation strategy and courtroom performance.
