WASHINGTON — June 19, 2025 — BakerHostetler is pleased to announce that the firm achieved outstanding results in the inaugural BTI Innovation Icons report, which ranks the nation’s most innovative law firms.
“Clients increasingly see innovation as the solution to their most complex problems — and only a select few firms deliver at this level,” said Michael B. Rynowecer, president of The BTI Consulting Group, which conducted the new survey of more than 350 corporate counsel between November 2024 and June 2025.
BakerHostetler was ranked an “Innovation Influencer” for its entry into an elite group that scored in all four of the report’s categories, including:
- legal strategy innovation, identified as smart, adaptive and bold legal thinking
- tech savvy delivery, defined by tech-enabled, efficient legal service
- client-facing innovation, for new and practical ways to work with clients and
- generative AI pioneers, for trailblazing ways to integrate AI into client success.
BTI Law Firm Innovation Icons is based solely on in-depth telephone interviews with leading legal decision makers. This comprehensive analysis trends data from more than 24,000 corporate counsel client interviews. Innovations are broken into six distinct groups: outcomes; relationships; process; delivery experience; risk elimination and avoidance; and value-added extras.
“In an industry known for its reliance on traditional structures and approaches,” noted the report, “[these law firms] embrace innovation and technology as vital drivers of business growth.”
