We are the largest litigation firm in the world. Our 800+ smart & diverse lawyers across the globe excel based on their talent, hard work and creativity.
Quinn Emanuel was founded in 1986 with the unique goal of gathering the smartest lawyers in town (and later, in the world) under one roof to try cases together. Since then, we've grown to be the biggest litigation-only firm in the world, with over 700 lawyers in 10 countries. And when we say litigation, we don't just mean filing papers and doing depositions, although we are very good at both. We mean going to trial.
You can work in a fine litigation department of a first-rate firm for ten years and never go to trial. You can be a litigation partner and never have gone to trial. Not at Quinn, at least not unless you want to just do appeals.
We do settle cases; and we get better results for our clients precisely because the other side knows (and fears) that we're ready to go to trial. And we are. Because almost everyone at Quinn thinks trying cases is about the most fun you can have as a lawyer.
At any point in time, we might have teams on trial all over the world. That's another thing that makes Quinn different: we always work as teams. It's part of the firm's DNA. Our clients are all our clients; they don't belong to a particular partner. Partners don't own associates. What matters is the work.
For an associate who does great work, there's no limit to the experience. If you're looking for fancy offices and French chefs, we're not your firm. We've been known for so long as the flip-flop firm -- because we wear them to work, with shorts or jeans or whatever you want, and a suit hanging on the hook in the office if you have to run to court or meet with a client – that we give them out as party favors.
Oh yes, and we like to win. Quinn lawyers have tried or arbitrated more than 2,600 cases, won 88% of those, and brought plaintiffs more than $60 billion.
We're always looking for more creative and brilliant attorneys to join us as we continue to have the most fun ever (for a lawyer) winning cases for our clients.
