About the Litigation Group at Andrews Kurth

The litigation group at Andrews Kurth functions like a boutique, but one with the logistical support and the bench strength of a large firm. We are composed of 64 partners and 58 non-partners, who bring to each case the focus, imagination and efficiency born of having tried cases to conclusion. Unlike firms that have been reducing their capability to try lawsuits, Andrews Kurth has been actively growing and acquiring the talent necessary to take each case all the way to a verdict and to successfully represent our clients. Our partners have collectively tried over 850 cases to jury verdict or bench decision.

Methodology - Benchmark Litigation

The guide's results are the culmination of a six-month research period in which researchers conducted extensive interviews with litigators and their clients. During these interviews the publication examined recent casework handled by the firms and asked sources to offer their professional opinions on litigators practicing within their state or national practice areas. The guide identifies the leading litigation firms and partners in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
