Warner Named to BTI Consulting’s Intimidating Opponents List

Warner Norcross + Judd LLP has been named to BTI Consulting’s 2027 Intimidating Opponents List in its latest Litigation Outlook report. Warner is one of only 82 law firms nationwide to be recognized among the most feared litigation opponents.

BTI defines intimidating opponents as firms that deliver the best outcomes for clients, take inventive approaches to litigation, control the case narrative, pivot seamlessly, anticipate what others do not and create new precedents.

“We’ve earned a stellar reputation for vigorously fighting on behalf of our clients in complex litigation matters across diverse industries and at every level of state and federal courts,” said Mike Azzi, a Warner partner and chair of the firm’s Litigation and Dispute Resolution Practice Group.

“The BTI ranking is especially meaningful because it’s based on interviews and original research with in-house counsel and other executives who define businesses’ needs, priorities and strategies and make the decisions on which firm to hire when the stakes are high.”

Warner was founded on litigation nearly a century ago. BTI has recognized the firm with numerous awards over the years, including placement among its top Generative AI Litigation Firms, Client Service A-Team, Innovation Influencers List and Super Listeners A-List. Several Warner partners have also been recognized as Client Service All-Stars.
