Miami, FL – Bilzin Sumberg is proud to announce that the firm has been named Florida Firm of the Year at the 2026 Benchmark Litigation U.S. Awards. The recognition reflects the firm's exceptional litigation practice and its sustained record of success in high-stakes disputes throughout the state.

The Benchmark Litigation U.S. Awards, now in their 17th year, honor the nation's most distinguished litigation firms and attorneys. Winners are selected solely by the Benchmark Research Team following months of rigorous research, peer and client reviews, and meticulous analysis of recent casework.

Bilzin Sumberg’s deep bench of seasoned, trial-ready litigators based in Florida, are routinely called upon to handle complex high-end disputes for an impressive roster of clients. While the firm represents clients in all types of commercial litigation, its trial and litigation practice stands out for its market leading experience in five key areas: opt-out antitrust, class action defense, real estate and insurance, financial services, and construction. Its attorneys regularly try cases in federal and state courts in Florida and throughout the country, as well as before domestic and international arbitrators. Bilzin Sumberg’s outstanding results and track record in high-stakes litigation consistently earn the firm’s litigators recognition across leading industry publications, such as Chambers USA, Lawdragon, Law.com, National Law Journal, and Daily Business Review.

"Being named Florida Firm of the Year by Benchmark Litigation is a tremendous honor because of the award’s focus on sophisticated, high-stakes disputes,” said Scott Wagner, Practice Group Leader for Trial & Litigation, and Co-Head of the Antitrust Practice. "It recognizes the tremendous teamwork across our group and reaffirms our place among clients in various industries as the go-to firm in the state for their most pressing and critical matters.”

The 2026 Benchmark Litigation U.S. Awards were presented on March 11, 2026, at Guastavino's in New York City.
