Susman Godfrey

Ranked Vault's #1 Litigation Boutique every year since 2011, Susman Godfrey is an elite litigation boutique known for taking cases on contingency.

Susman Godfrey is one of the most respected commercial litigation firms in the country, distinguished by its willingness to represent both plaintiffs and defendants, often on contingency or alternative fee arrangements. This approach reflects the firm's confidence in its ability to win at trial and aligns its interests directly with its clients' outcomes.

The firm's small size and litigation-only focus create a distinctive culture where every lawyer is a trial lawyer. Associates receive courtroom exposure and case responsibility far earlier than at larger firms. Susman Godfrey's lean structure and performance-driven model attract lawyers who are drawn to high-stakes trial work.
