Dykema Named a Litigation Leader in BTI Consulting Group’s BTI Litigation Outlook 2026 Report

Dykema, a leading national law firm, is proud to announce that the BTI Consulting Group has ranked the firm as a top performer in several segments of litigation in its “BTI Litigation Outlook 2026: More Contentious. More Complex. More Spending.” report. The report is based on interviews with leading legal decision-makers at large organizations and identifies law firms by name that corporate clients view as best suited to handle high-stakes, complex litigation.

The categories for which Dykema was recognized in the report include:

• Commercial Litigation – Leader
• Class Action Litigation – Leader
• IP Litigation – Standout
• Product Liability Litigation – Distinguished
• Complex Commercial Litigation – Distinguished

These rankings reflect the firm’s breadth of experience across the litigation spectrum and highlight its ability to handle matters that are increasingly complex.

“We are honored to be named at the top levels of BTI’s Litigation Outlook for 2026,” said Mike Cooney, Director of Dykema’s Litigation Department. “This recognition underscores our commitment to partnering with clients on their most consequential disputes—delivering not just legal advice but strategic, business-focused outcomes.”

Why this recognition matters

According to BTI’s report, litigation budgets are surging—more than two-thirds of law firm clients plan to increase spend in 2026, many by double-digit percentages—as matters become more contentious and novel (including generative AI, cybersecurity, mass torts, and rapid regulatory change).

Being named a “Leader,” “Standout,” or “Distinguished” firm in these categories means that corporate counsel selected Dykema, unsolicited, as among the firms best equipped to handle such litigation.
