Which Firms Give In-House Counsel Nightmares?
BTI Consulting Group has published the results of its 2017 “Fearsome Foursome” survey, in which 300 general counsel named which law firms they would least like to see as opposing counsel.
Michael Rynowecer, CEO of BTI Consulting Group, described what it takes to make the list:
General counsels who responded to the survey pointed to a few things that the four firms named most-feared in the courtroom have in common, the first of which is an unrelenting approach, Rynowecer said.
“They have several strategies in place at once and keep coming at the issue,” he said. “Not only do they overturn every rock, but they find new rocks to overturn and keep coming up with new ways to act in their clients’ interests.”
The firms on the list are Dentons, Jones Day, Kirkland & Ellis, and Skadden.
The survey also includes 11 firms that made the “Awesome Opponents” list and 55 firms named to the honor roll of most-feared law firms.
