Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP

We are the largest litigation and arbitration firm in the world with 900+ attorneys across the globe. We mean going to trial. And we are.

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 875 lawyers in 11 countries. And when we say litigation, we don't just mean filing papers and doing depositions, although we are very good at both. 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. 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.

Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP is pleased to announce that both Executive Chairman and Founding Partner John B. Quinn and Shon Morgan, Partner and Chair of the firm’s National Class Action Practice Group, have once again been named by the Daily Journal as among the “Top 100 Lawyers in California” in 2024.

Daily Journal's feature on John Quinn showcases his notable trials, including claims in the U.S.’s largest mass tort litigation, involving claims against 3M on behalf of 250,000 active U.S. service members injured by defective earplugs. The article also mentions the resulting bankruptcy case when 3M attempted to shift liability through a subsidiary. Additionally, the feature highlights John's high-profile case for LIV Golf Inc. and several professional golfers against the PGA tour, which contributed to his inclusion in this year's Top 100 list.

Their feature on Shon Morgan emphasizes his decades of experience and esteemed position as one of the leading class action defense attorneys. Notable recent cases discussed include his representation of Hyundai and Kia in the MDL connected to a social media-inspired theft trend, as well as his defense of Ancestry.com against claims in multiple states of “right of publicity" claims.

They discuss the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Diaz v. United States, which permits prosecutors to introduce expert testimony about the mental states of people "like" the defendant, and identify practical strategies for defense counsel to limit the impact of such testimony and—even better—use Diaz to defendants’ advantage.

Quinn Emanuel is proud to announce a precedent-setting victory in one of the most significant cartel damages cases in German history. On 15 August 2024, the Court of Appeals Stuttgart (“Court”) delivered a landmark ruling, holding the state of Baden-Württemberg liable on the merits (Grundurteil - a judgment establishing liability without quantifying the damages) for the joint sales of round timber stemming from competing forests (Rundholzkartell).

This case, with an amount in dispute of approximately €500 million, marks the first time in German legal history that a court has established civil liability for an antitrust infringement of this magnitude, without being bound by a prior decision from an antitrust authority. The Court remands the quantum proceedings to determine the precise amount of damages to the Stuttgart District Court.

The case was brought by the Ausgleichsgesellschaft für die Sägeindustrie GmbH ("ASG"), a legal services provider representing 36 sawmills through assigned claims. The Court's ruling is significant on multiple fronts:

➡ It upheld the legitimacy of bundling claims by way of assignments to a funded vehicle.
➡ It confirmed that the state’s joint distribution violated EU antitrust laws and caused damages.
➡ It established the state's culpability.
➡ Notably, the Court rejected the statute of limitations defense, accepting claims dating back to 1978.

This pivotal decision not only establishes liability but also overturns previous case law from several lower courts regarding the bundling of claims. Most importantly, it reaffirms the fundamental principle that nobody stands above the law, clarifying that antitrust rules apply equally to state bodies when they engage in business ventures. This landmark ruling sets a significant precedent in German and EU competition law, potentially reshaping the landscape for future stand-alone antitrust cases involving state entities and claim bundling practices. The ruling is open to appeal (Revision) before the German Federal Court of Justice, which is strictly limited to reviewing questions of law.

Congratulations to the sawmills and the ASG on this landmark achievement! Hamburg Partner Rüdiger Lahme and Counsel Andreas Ruster, together with a dedicated Quinn Emanuel team, navigated this complex case to this success.

On January 1, 2021, Germany implemented the German Act on the Stabilisation and Restructuring Framework for Businesses (StaRUG), a new out-of-court restructuring regime. This system aimed to provide a viable alternative to traditional insolvency proceedings for companies looking to restructure their debts. Despite initial praise, during the restructurings of real estate groups Adler and Signa, financial creditors continued to prefer the established UK Scheme of Arrangement or the new English Restructuring Plan . However, companies such as Eterna Mode GmbH, Softline AG, Leoni AG, and Varta AG opted for StaRUG as a genuine alternative.

A Quinn Emanuel team, led by London Partner Paul Baker, successfully represented FW Aviation (Holdings) in a dispute against VietJet Aviation Joint Stock Company in the English High Court. The case revolved around four Airbus A320 aircraft initially leased to VietJet under a Japanese Operating Lease with Call Option (JOLCO) structure.

When VietJet fell into arrears on rental payments in October 2021, termination notices were issued, and the FitzWalter group sought to take over the original lessors' and financing parties' roles. VietJet refused to recognise the termination notices and continued operating the aircraft in 2022.

The High Court ruled in favour of FW Aviation, the valid termination of the aircraft leasing and the valid assignment of relevant rights to the FitzWalter group. The judge also dismissed VietJet's counterclaim for relief from forfeiture.

Congratulations to the entire team – Paul Baker, Richard East, James McSweeney, Daniel Freund, Alex Quirk, Juliet Bull and Olivia Morris.

Case: FW Aviation (Holdings) 1 Ltd. v. VietJet Aviation Joint Stock Company, case number CL-2022-000467, in the Commercial Court, King's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice of England and Wales.

Quinn Emanuel's Lucas V.M. Bento FRSA FCIArb and Gavin Frisch published an article titled "No Section 1782 Discovery for ICSID Arbitrations Says Second Circuit in In re Webuild S.p.A." on the Kluwer Arbitration Blog. The article delves into the widening gap between Section 1782 and international arbitration following the recent landmark 1782 decision in Webuild S.p.A. v. WSP USA Inc.

In this decision, the Second Circuit ruled that a tribunal in an arbitration administered by the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) does not qualify as a "foreign or international tribunal" under Section 1782. This ruling presents a challenge for litigants in foreign arbitration proceedings before tribunals lacking governmental authority who seek to leverage Section 1782 and its broad discovery mechanisms under U.S. federal law. However, there are potential avenues to still utilize Section 1782 evidence in such foreign arbitrations.

Quinn Emanuel has achieved a significant victory on behalf of our client Berkley Research Group (BRG) after a nearly decade-long legal battle with competitor FTI Consulting. The dispute centred on three principals and several colleagues and clients leaving FTI to join BRG, which led to allegations of breach of contract, tortious interference, and violation of Massachusetts' unfair competition statute.

Initially, the trial resulted in an unfavorable jury verdict and judicial award. However, yesterday, the Massachusetts Appeals Court, in a unanimous decision authored by Justice Henry, overturned the judgment and dismissed the unfair trade practice damages, marking a substantial win for BRG.

The legal arguments involved complex issues related to restrictive covenants and Massachusetts Chapter 93A. This victory serves as a testament to our team's dedication and resilience in navigating a challenging legal battle to ultimately deliver a favorable result for our client. Congratulations to this stellar team, led by :Harvey Wolkoff, Aliki Sofis, Derek Shaffer, Stacylyn Doore, Rachel Frank, Kathleen Marini, Kelsey Sullivan, Michelle Wang, Jeff York, and Alex Loomis.
