According to BTI:
Litigation is becoming part of business strategy – embedding it in key business strategy and growth – making it mission critical to clients.
The stakes have exploded:
Bet-the-company matters are becoming routine. AI is spawning claims no playbook anticipated. Class actions are spreading. Cyber risk is intensifying. Employment disputes are multiplying. Commercial litigation is getting bigger, nastier and harder to predict.
- Bet-the-company work goes from rare to routine – high-stakes matters are now a fixture, not an outlier
- Litigation risk moves from legal department to boardroom – business operations increasingly built around it
- Labor and employment cases keep climbing – no sign of the spike cooling off
- Class actions hit even more companies – the exposure pool keeps widening
- Outside counsel teams scale up again – bigger benches needed to handle bigger dockets
- Claims get bigger, and so do the price tags – damages keep pushing the ceiling higher
