From profit and growth to efficiencies and strategic decisions, legal data can help uncover key trends from this record-breaking year that may not be readily apparent, making it a critical part of trend analysis for 2021 and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The TrueLaw Litigation Index \u2013 2021 Law Firm Ranking<\/a> is UniCourt\u2019s third annual edition of our report highlighting the top 200 federal civil litigation law firms by case count for all United States District Courts. To develop this report, UniCourt downloads all publicly available civil PACER cases and we then leverage artificial intelligence and automation technologies to organize, structure, and normalize court data to identify the attorneys, law firms, parties and judges involved in litigation for trend analysis and litigation intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the second year in a row, Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease, LLP is the top federal litigation law firm across all U.S. District Courts. In this article, we\u2019ll review the statistics behind Vorys\u2019 cases, who some of their top clients are, and how they beat out other law firms again in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For an impressive second year in a row, Vorys has clinched first place in the TrueLaw Litigation Index. While Vorys has topped our charts for the past two years, the firm has been providing quality legal services for over 100 years. Since its founding in Columbus, Ohio in 1909, Vorys has gone from a small, four-person office to a legal powerhouse, employing close to 400 lawyers across eight offices in Ohio, Washington, D.C., Texas, Pennsylvania, and California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vorys prides itself on the firm\u2019s record of success, representing clients from children\u2019s hospitals and Fortune 500 companies to individuals from all walks of life. But Vorys doesn\u2019t just provide exemplary client services, it has also been identified as a \u201cBest Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality\u201d by the Human Rights Campaign<\/a>, and consistently makes lists of best lawyers in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vorys\u2019 rise to becoming a two-time leader in U.S. District Court litigation is mainly due to one legendary rainmaker and mass litigator \u2013 William D. Kloss Jr., who represents Davol Inc. and C. R. Bard, Inc. While Vorys had a decline in overall case volume compared to 2020, Mr. Kloss, a 30-year litigation veteran, handled thousands of cases in 2021, leading his firm to the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As in 2020, the majority of Vorys\u2019 2021 cases are concentrated in Ohio. The top five jurisdictions where Vorys litigated are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, with access to federal litigation data, we can dig deeper into Vorys\u2019 2021 roadmap to first place, and go beyond simple jurisdictional lists. With legal data, we can uncover Vorys\u2019 primary practice areas, top clients, and most active litigators. In the next section, we\u2019ll discuss what these data points mean for Vorys and how law firms can use legal data to enhance their decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can read the full article here on Above the Law<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Vorys Came Out on Top<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
