Following interviews with hundreds of general counsel, Quinn Emanuel has been identified by Law360 as one of four firms that “strike fear in the hearts of corporate counsel.” The firm was also named one of the “fearsome foursome” in 2010. Quinn Emanuel stood out as one of the firms “most likely to trigger dread in opposing counsel for their tenacity and their ability to anticipate their legal opposition’s strategy.”
The firm was recognized for what it termed “jugular litigation”—the ability to focus in on what matters most in a case. So far in 2013, the firm’s litigation approach has been very successful, with favorable billion and multimillion dollar outcomes in high-stakes cases for clients such as the Federal Housing Finance Agency and MBIA Insurance Corporation.
