Law360 published its first annual list of “Litigation Powerhouses,” on July 27, 2016, identifying fifty top firms for litigation. Perkins Coie is proud to be ranked among fellow leading law firms.

With significant appellate wins, trial victories, pretrial dismissals and a banner list of new litigation matters for Fortune 100 clients, Perkins Coie’s litigation team inks its spot as a powerhouse practice.

Law360 detailed their methodology accordingly: [We] surveyed law firms on their litigator headcounts, as well as litigation victories and new legal work they secured between March 1, 2015 and March 1, 2016. Headcounts are as of March 1, 2016. Firms are ranked based on three factors: the total number of litigators and litigation partners, notable wins in litigation between March 1, 2015 and March 1, 2016 and the significant new cases the firm was hired to work on over the same time period. To be counted as a member of the litigation group, an attorney must spend at least 75 percent of his or her time on litigation matters. For the purposes of this survey, "litigation" includes domestic and international litigation, as well as litigation in special venues such as administrative courts, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, the Court of Federal Claims, the International Trade Commission, domestic and international arbitration and bankruptcy litigation.

Perkins Coie litigation attorneys navigate and solve the most complex legal conflicts and related business issues facing highly sophisticated companies, legal departments and emerging enterprises.
