According to BTI:

More than 2/3 of companies are increasing their litigation budgets by more than 10%. This means clients will have a large set of needs and risks. Some of the strategies capturing this new work are:

• Very early assessments
• Offering de-risking strategies
• Strategic planning for risk and overall litigation management
• Scenario planning for different outcomes to develop better strategies
• Bringing more junior associates to add perspective to new areas such as cryptocurrency, social media and online disputes
• Brainstorming around new approaches

Litigation is more aggressive than it has ever been — and will get more so. This changes the way winning law firms pitch and develop business — and how clients select their law firms.
