With legal disputes becoming more complex, more contentious, and more high-stakes, companies are likely to increase their spending on litigation next year, some by over 10%, says Law360, quoting the BTI Consulting Group’s Litigation Outlook 2026 report, and AI is expected to generate a whole new set of claims touching on everything from contracts to data privacy.
“Artificial Intelligence will drive a new wave of litigation,” Gibson Dunn partner Trey Cox told Law360 [PDF], “as its use creates many new litigation risks for businesses that span a range of potential data, bias, IP, and regulatory exposure issues.”
The Litigation Outlook report names the “Fearsome Foursome” law firms that clients have told BTI they least want to see on the other side of the table during litigation, one of which is Gibson Dunn. Commenting on the distinction, partner Theane Evangelis said that “we consistently take on the cases involving the most complex, cutting-edge issues facing businesses today. What sets us apart is our relentless focus on building strategic trial-ready and appellate litigation teams that work across practices, offices, and specialties, and that are tailored to the needs of each case and bring big synergies to the table.”
Trey and Theane are Co-Chairs of our global Litigation Practice Group.
