Benchmark Litigation names Bodman Michigan Law Firm of the Year 2019


The internationally-recognized client- and peer-review journal Benchmark Litigation has named Bodman PLC its 2019 Michigan Litigation Law Firm of the Year.

Bodman has earned the Law Firm of the Year designation for an unprecedented six consecutive years.

The selection was announced at a national award ceremony held at the Essex House in New York.  State 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.

“This award is well-deserved recognition for our Litigation Group, which had another great year in 2018,” said Bodman Chairman Larry R. Shulman. “To maintain this level of success for six straight years is a testament to the high level of skill and effort our entire team brings to each matter.”

Benchmark is the only attorney rating publication that focuses exclusively on litigation law firms in the United States.  Its rankings are the result of months of research including interviews with leading litigation attorneys and their clients.  In addition, in the 2019 edition of Benchmark, seven Bodman attorneys are listed as “State Litigation Stars” or “Future Stars.”
