Husch Blackwell was named by BTI Consulting as being among the top 20 most feared litigation law firms in a recent ranking published in conjunction with the BTI Litigation Outlook 2023. The ranking identified five characteristics of leading litigation firms, including courage, smarts, energy, acting expeditiously, and persistence.
“Over the past few years, we have made key investments in our litigation platform, both in terms of bench strength and geography,” said Husch Blackwell Chair Catherine Hanaway. “Due to an increase in regulatory enforcement and the economic headwinds businesses face, we anticipate higher demand for litigation, particularly in the areas of employment, white collar and government investigations, intellectual property, torts, and product liability.”
Husch Blackwell has scored several notable litigation victories in the past month alone for clients spanning multiple industries, including successfully handling a contentious injury investigation conducted by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) for a group of U.S.-based importers of steel nails, prevailing in an intellectual property trade dispute before the ITC for Ventria Biosciences, and defeating claims of false advertising and unjust enrichment, among other counts, in connection with the manufacture and sale of a medical cream for Trupharma LLC.
