"QE London may have only been on the scene for a few years, but the firm has assimilated itself into the global law landscape." –Legal Business
Our lawyers are dedicated solely to business disputes. We specialise in high-stakes commercial litigation and have built a reputation as one of the premier firms for complex commercial and financial disputes.
Our 75+ lawyer London office is led by lawyers who were also lead partners at firms like Allen & Overy (Stephen Jagusch) and Herbert Smith (Ted Greeno). With talents like this no case is too challenging. No case is too big. No case is too complex. Our London partners have seen and done it all.
The Wall Street Journal has dubbed our firm a "global force in business litigation". Our litigation group, though modeled on the firm’s successful U.S. practice, is tailored to the unique characteristics of the London litigation market.
A significant amount of our work is acting against the global, money centre banks, something major City firms cannot do because of conflicts. Our lawyers act in the very largest Commercial Court and Chancery Division cases, the so-called "mega-trials". QE has secured landmark victories in the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal.
Unlike most London litigation practices, our combination of barristers and solicitors, including a senior QC, provides the firm with the resources it needs to oversee entire cases in-house. For some matters involving multiple financial institution adversaries, QE London is the only top-tier City firm that can act.
London is also the centre of our highly rated international arbitration practice lead by Stephen Jagusch QC, formerly the global chair of Allen & Overy’s international arbitration group. Our arbitration specialists have experience in all forms of commercial and investment arbitration including:
- International Commercial Arbitration
- Investor vs. State Arbitration (under bi-lateral and multilateral investment treaties)
- State vs. State Disputes
Our lawyers have literally arbitrated disputes all over the globe. They have arbitrated disputes under the rules of all the major arbitration bodies such as LCIA, ICC, AAA, ICSID, UNCITRAL, as well as the arbitration centers in Stockholm, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vienna and more.

Modern Slavery Statement
modern slavery and human trafficking statement
This is a statement under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the "MSA"). It outlines the steps that Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan UK LLP ("Quinn Emanuel UK") has taken to identify and combat slavery and human trafficking in both our own operations and in our supply chains.
overview of our business
Quinn Emanuel UK is a law firm specialising in high-stakes commercial litigation and has built a reputation as one of the premier firms for complex commercial and financial disputes. Quinn Emanuel UK was established in 2008 and now has over 60 lawyers, and over 120 staff members in its London office.
As a professional services firm, our supply chain generally consists of those service providers that assist us to deliver legal services to our clients and to provide services to our employees. This includes providers of information technology, legal knowledge, transcription, translation, stationary, cleaning, and cab services.
Quinn Emanuel UK is committed to practising our business responsibly, which includes opposing slavery and human trafficking in all their forms. We expect the same from our suppliers.
our steps towards combatting modern slavery
In order to support the objectives of the MSA, we have conducted a preliminary risk assessment with respect to our business and our suppliers. Our initial assessment is, as a highly regulated professional services firm, there is a low risk of modern slavery or human trafficking within our business.
With respect to suppliers, we have identified our regular suppliers and we consider that most are low risk. Many of our suppliers are large professional services companies based in the UK and our assessment is that there is a low risk of modern slavery or human trafficking in those businesses. We have determined that cleaning companies are a potential risk area, in particular where cleaners may not speak English. We have contacted the relevant suppliers in question with regard to their obligations under the MSA.
We commit to refreshing our approach towards combatting modern slavery and human trafficking annually.
