The journal Benchmark Litigation has named Bodman PLC its Michigan Litigation Law Firm of the Year for 2020. Bodman has earned this award for an unprecedented seven consecutive years.
The selection was announced at the Benchmark US East Coast award ceremony held on Jan. 27 at The Pierre in New York.
Bodman Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution Group Member Justin P. Bagdady from the Ann Arbor office received the award on behalf of the firm, that also has offices in Detroit, Troy, Grand Rapids, and Cheboygan
State Law Firm of the Year winners are chosen based on an analysis of cases handled during the prior year, including potential precedents set or matters with notably high dollar amounts at stake.
Benchmark focuses exclusively on litigation law firms. In the 2020 edition, Bodman received the highest possible “Highly Recommended” rating for Business Litigation, and ten Bodman attorneys are recognized as “State Litigation Stars,” “Future Stars,” or on the publication’s “40 and Under Hot List.”
