Pillsbury’s Business Trials & Litigation (BTL) practice group represents clients in their most consequential commercial business disputes—when risks are high, issues complex and successful outcomes critical.
Named one of the “Most Feared Law Firms” for five consecutive years by BTI Consulting Group and recently designated an “Awesome Opponent” in BTI’s 2025 Litigation Outlook, Pillsbury’s Litigation group is recognized for being elite—and for winning. Chambers USA praises our ability to handle “sophisticated and complex matters,” while The Legal 500 describes our litigation team as an “extraordinary group of lawyers” adept at navigating complex commercial disputes.
Trial readiness is the foundation of our practice. It shapes strategy from the outset and enhances our leverage at every stage. This approach gives clients a strategic advantage—often securing favorable outcomes long before trial becomes necessary.
