Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP

Litigation boutique Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP is unlike other firms in the ranking in that is has no role on the transactional side of physical or financial commodities trades, but its energy and natural resources disputes group is frequently involved in high-value contentious matters. Its role in energy, mining and construction disputes, along with its work on competition law matters and corporate investigations for leading trading houses and companies in the extractive industries, gives the practice led by Ted Greeno an in-depth understanding of commodities markets, including onshore and offshore oil and gas, mining, power, renewables and alternative energy, as well as downstream oil and gas agreements, long-term gas and LNG supply agreements and the trading of metals and minerals.
