Big Law's Tariff Litigation Power Rankings: Exclusive Analysis Reveals Market Leaders in Massive Refund Battle

by Craig Savitzky • 30 April 2026
A landmark Supreme Court decision just invalidated presidential tariff authority. Big Law firms are now racing to capture what could become one of the most lucrative litigation waves in recent memory. More than 2,000 refund lawsuits have already been filed. The stakes exceed $100 billion in potentially recoverable duties. An exclusive analysis by Pirical identifies which law firms are best positioned to capitalize on the tariff litigation boom. The analysis weighs three factors: client representation, practice investment, and specialized expertise. Kirkland & Ellis emerges as the clear market leader. The firm represents 12 major companies seeking tariff refunds. That's double the client count of its nearest competitor. Kirkland's 74.8 composite score in Pirical's three-pillar analysis significantly outpaces Akin Gump (58.9) and Latham & Watkins (51.3), which round out the top three.
