Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP‘s expansive commercial litigation practice is capable of offering clients advice in the full range of traditional areas, including antitrust, bankruptcy and class actions, and is also increasingly active in representing clients in novel sectors, including cannabis, cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, in complex tech, IP, and retail disputes. Pre-eminent litigator and firm founder John Quinn is based in Los Angeles and is well-regarded across the market for his deep-seated expertise in intellectual property disputes, though he is capable of acting in a wide range of litigation. Boston’s Aliki Sofis has a strong track record on both plaintiff-side and defendant-side complex commercial disputes, including bet-the-company litigation, consumer class actions and technology litigation, among many others. In New York, Maaren Shah focuses on financial services, energy, insurance, and art sector disputes. Chicago partner Richard Godfrey is the key name within the group for multi-district litigation and heads the firm’s MDL team.
