BTI Honors Kirkland on Fearsome Foursome and IP Litigation Powerhouse Lists

Kirkland & Ellis has been recognized by BTI Consulting Group in its Litigation Outlook 2026 report as one of the “Fearsome Foursome” law firms in litigation, and as one of the nine “IP Powerhouses” in IP litigation. Notably, Kirkland is the only law firm in the world to be named to the “Fearsome Foursome” each year since the list’s inception. BTI determines its rankings through feedback from legal decision makers at leading companies who regularly select law firms for support in their most difficult cases. The “Fearsome Foursome” list consists of law firms with a reputation for “striking the utmost fear into the hearts of seasoned general counsel and legal decision makers,” and the “IP Powerhouses” list recognizes the top 1% of law firms for their ability to deliver exceptional results in IP litigation.
