Benchmark Litigation ranks Hausfeld as the top plaintiff firm in the United States for 2025
We are proud to announce that Hausfeld has been recognized by Benchmark Litigation as the “Top Plaintiff Firm” for 2025. In addition to this prestigious designation, we are proud to hold a Tier 2 ranking in Competition/Antitrust and to be named a “Recommended Top Plaintiff Firm” for the District of Columbia. This recognition not only highlights Hausfeld's national and regional excellence but also acknowledges several outstanding individuals from our San Francisco and Washington, DC offices.
Hausfeld has established itself as a formidable plaintiff-side firm in Benchmark Litigation’s 2025 rankings, recognized for its global reach and expertise, particularly in antitrust. A major defense peer notes, “Hausfeld is who we almost always see on the plaintiff side if there is an antitrust class action.” Another opponent adds, “They have a wide scope regarding antitrust actions, and they are also huge in sports. I do a great deal of this work, and it’s nearly always against Hausfeld, at least in the biggest and best cases.” The firm is also noted saying, “Many firms try to do what they do, but Hausfeld is one of the few that gets it right and one of the ones we take the most seriously.”
Congratulations to this year’s honorees:
