QUINN EMANUEL URQUHART & SULLIVAN, LLP
Founded in Los Angeles in 1985 with four lawyers, Quinn Emanuel now has 1100 lawyers with 35 Offices around the world. Los Angeles is still the firm’s headquarters, with 144 lawyers, and over 200 staff members based out of downtown. Its Los Angeles roots are shown every summer, with the annual firm summer party on the field at the iconic Rose Bowl.
Lawyers at Quinn Emanuel don’t have to wait 8 to 10 years to do interesting work. Every year, a new cadre of gifted young lawyers with their pick of job offers makes Quinn Emanuel their first choice. The emphasis is on quality, not quantity. The firm staffs leanly, which means many of the associates get to work on trials. Quinn Emanuel believes unnecessary rules stifle creativity and prevent motivated new lawyers from serving clients. The lawyers expect to play a major role in significant cases — and the firm makes certain that they do. Quinn Emanuel places an additional junior associate on every trial and arbitration team — at no cost to the client. Quinn Emanuel is also dedicated to providing pro bono legal services to individuals and organizations throughout the world. Associates are welcome to initiate pro bono projects.
