Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan has announced its plans to open a new office in Wilmington, Delaware. The Am Law 50 firm that specializes in litigation services has already secured a partner from a local firm to lead this forthcoming office. Quinn Emanuel’s decision to establish a presence in Wilmington is in line with the firm’s focus on complex commercial disputes and expedited litigation – a specialty that reflects Delaware’s unique legal environment. Law.com reports on this development in greater detail.
The soon-to-be office leader has a history of collaborating with Quinn Emanuel’s litigators in representing clients in Delaware courts. Of note is his representation of clients like Mirae Asset Global Investments and Snow Phipps Group in the first pair of COVID-19 “busted deal” cases that proceeded to trial. These instances highlight the important role that Wilmington’s unique legal environment plays and further underscore Quinn Emanuel’s strategic decision to establish a new office in this location.
