According to BTI:
More than 2/3 of companies are increasing their litigation budgets by more than 10%. This means clients will have a large set of needs and risks. Some of the strategies capturing this new work are:
- Very early assessments
- Offering de-risking strategies
- Strategic planning for risk and overall litigation management
- Scenario planning for different outcomes to develop better strategies
- Bringing more junior associates to add perspective to new areas such as cryptocurrency, social media and online disputes
- Brainstorming around new approaches
Litigation is more aggressive than it has ever been — and will get more so. This changes the way winning law firms pitch and develop business — and how clients select their law firms.
