The World's 'Most Feared Law Firm' Undergoes Major Shake-up.

Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, the world's largest litigation firm, has undergone a shift in management as it faces challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The firm, known for its singular and freewheeling approach, has formed a management committee for the first time in its history, and two co-managing partners have been appointed to work alongside founder John B. Quinn. The move comes after concerns were raised about the firm's financial health during the pandemic, and some partners believed changes were needed to the partnership, including raising the bar for entry and weeding out underperformers.
