BTI Consulting Names Warner to 2025 Awesome Opponents List
Warner Norcross + Judd LLP has again topped national rankings for its litigation prowess, the only Michigan-headquartered law firm to earn a spot on BTI Consulting’s Awesome Opponents of 2025.
As part of its Litigation Outlook 2025, the respected legal research firm has identified Warner as “one of the law firms who clients least want to see on the other side.” The law firms who ranked as Awesome Opponents are “relentless, cunning, aggressive, very smart, and play to win – and win big” because they are “unequivocal about new high-stakes matters.”
Additionally, BTI noted Warner and 45 other firms on the Awesome Opponents list:
- Make opponents rethink their approach.
- Challenge precedent and convention.
- Look to establish a precedent where none exists.
- Constantly push client interests forward.
- Remain unflinching in the face of adversity.
BTI has consistently ranked Warner and its Litigation and Dispute Resolution Practice Group as a national leader. In 2023, BTI named Warner a “Litigation Standout,” highlighting its work in product liability, employment, commercial and complex commercial litigation matters.
The firm, which serves clients nationally from its nine Michigan offices, has also been recognized by BTI as a “Litigation Powerhouse” and as one of the nation's “Most Feared” litigation firms.
“Our continued presence on BTI’s national litigation lists underscores the skill and respect our litigators receive from clients and competitors alike,” said Amanda Fielder, partner and chair of Warner’s Litigation and Dispute Resolution Practice Group. “We strive to be fierce advocates for our clients, taking on their problems as our own so we can find creative solutions that deliver exceptional results on even the most complex matters. We’re honored to again be recognized for our strength in litigation.”
With one of the largest litigation practice groups in Michigan, Warner attorneys are highly skilled litigators with experience at every level of state and federal courts. Their national practice allows the firm to provide customized and innovative legal strategies that fit the goals of each organization. Warner represents some of the nation’s best-known companies, as well as startups, second-stage growth companies, nonprofits and multinational corporations.
With nearly two dozen subspecialties, including class action, patent litigation and supply chain, Warner attorneys rely on in-depth subject matter knowledge and experience to achieve great results for clients. The firm’s eDiscovery Center utilizes a range of high-tech tools and talented tech-forward team members to manage complex discovery matters.
