"If you're working in-house and dealing with bet-the-company litigation, you want the very best litigators in the world to be on your side. You want a firm with litigators so strong that opponents gasp in fear at the very mention of its name. You want a firm that is known internationally for going for the jugular and coming out on top."
"These firms strike the utmost fear into the hearts of seasoned general counsel and legal decision-makers alike. They are unflinching. Strategically unpredictable. Ready for every scenario. And are quick to remind everyone they don't litigate - they win. The 'Fearsome Foursome' are the most-feared litigation firms in the country. These are the firms you do not want to see on the other side, the firms that give GCs nightmares."
An annual ranking identifies law firms most likely to trigger dread in opposing counsel, based on a poll of in-house counsel. Corporations facing bet-the-company litigation seek elite litigators who intimidate opponents and prevail in high-stakes disputes. The top four most-feared litigation firms are Quinn Emanuel, Kirkland & Ellis, Skadden, and Gibson Dunn. Twelve additional firms were named Feared Opponents, including Boies Schiller Flexner, Cravath, Greenberg Traurig, Latham & Watkins, and Wachtell Lipton. An additional 45 firms were designated Awesome Opponents and 37 as Intimidating Opponents, offering in-house counsel a map of adversaries to avoid.
