Litigators
Another year is in the books here at The Litigation Daily and 2021 was another stellar year for our Litigators of the Week. This year the Litigation Daily spread the LOTW love out to at least 39 different law firms and universities, by our count.
But there were repeat players aplenty. Cooley; Debevoise & Plimpton; Hogan Lovells; Motley Rice; Wilmer Cutler Picker Hale and Dorr and Winston & Strawn all nabbed Friday bragging rights twice. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison and Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd brought home an impressive three LOTW titles during the year. Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan topped that with four. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher took the top spot a whopping five times.
But once again the uber-competitive litigators over at Kirkland & Ellis dominated our Friday headlines by bringing home Litigator of the Week honors nine times, topping even the eight LOTW honors the firm won in 2020.
