September 12, 2024

BTI Consulting Group

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 12, 2024

WASHINGTON, DC—BTI Consulting Group released its 2025 Litigation Outlook report, naming Finnegan an “Intimidating Opponent” on its “Most Feared in Litigation” list and a “Leader” in IP Litigation. The list names law firms that clients least want to see on the other side of the table. The firms named 2025 Intimidating Opponents are described as being relentless, aggressive, valorous, and of course, intimidating. More specifically, clients note the following attributes:

    • Make opponents rethink their approach
    • Unequivocal about new high-stakes matters
    • Challenge precedent and convention
    • The first to offer risk assessment
    • Look to establish a precedent where none exists
    • Constantly pushing client interests forward 
    • Unflinching in the face of adversity

Finnegan’s litigation practice covers all aspects of IP disputes, including complex patent litigation and appeals, high-profile trademark disputes, copyright, and trade secrets litigation. Our 230+ IP litigators are experienced in all forms of U.S. IP litigation, German patent litigation, and European patent litigation in courts, including the Unified Patent Court (UPC), before governmental agencies, and in arbitration forums. For 60 years, we have successfully litigated hundreds of cases at all stages of litigation involving the most technologically advanced and complex patents.
