Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni will be taking their legal beef all the way to trial … at least that’s what Baldoni’s lawyer is predicting.

Photogs got Bryan Freedman outside a federal courthouse in lower Manhattan following Wednesday’s settlement conference, and he was asked if this case would make it to trial.

Bryan says that’s where this seems to be headed … and he’s looking forward to duking it out with Blake’s legal team.

As we reported … the settlement conference was court-ordered in an effort to get Blake and Justin to hash out their differences — a Hail Mary attempt to find a resolution before their May 18 trial date — but the conference ended with no settlement being reached.

Blake and her camp were mum on their way out of court, in stark contrast to the Baldoni side. Justin wore a big fat grin on his mug, and Bryan was pretty chatty with photogs there.

As you know … Blake filed a complaint against her “It Ends With Us” co-star in December 2024, alleging Baldoni sexually harassed her while working on the film.

Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds have been dragged into this mess too … and we’ve told you Taylor would be called as a witness by Baldoni if the case goes to trial.
