Our Firm

Quinn Emanuel is the premier business litigation firm in the United States. With over 400 lawyers in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Chicago, Tokyo, London, and Mannheim , we are the largest firm in the United States that only does business litigation.  More to the point, we are the premier business trial firm; year in and year out -- no firm tries as many business cases to juries as we do.  And, we do it successfully:  we are the only firm in the United States that has won four nine-figure jury verdicts in the last seven years.  We have also obtained six nine-figure and three ten-figure settlements.  We achieved these results for plaintiffs even though most of our practice is on the defense side.

Our reputation as trial lawyers is well known.  When we appear in a case, our opponents know that they are facing an adversary that has the willingness and capability to see the matter through to verdict and to win.  This is a rare capability in the present business litigation environment, in which jury trials -- and experienced trial lawyers -- are rare.

The General Counsel of a well known internet company recently told one of our partners that he wanted to hire us because we "were responsible for making the business of litigation more competitive."  As he said, we are the "hungry dogs".  This sentiment echoes The American Lawyer’s June 2006 feature article on our firm, “The Mighty Quinn”, in which we were described us as a "litigation tour de force."
