Another day, another law firm poach. Quinn Emanuel just grabbed litigator William Charles for its London office. He comes over from Milbank, where he was a partner for six years. Before that, he spent eight years at Slaughter and May. His thing is big-ticket commercial fights and regulatory probes.
He mainly reps private equity shops and asset managers. His cases involve shareholder spats, post-merger arguments, and civil fraud. He also handles regulatory investigations for financial firms. These include antitrust matters and market abuse probes.
Charles said the firm's dispute focus always caught his eye. He called the move an opportunity he had to take. This hire brings their London partnership to thirty-two lawyers. They just added another partner from a different firm last November.
The office also made a partner promotion this year. A white-collar crime lawyer moved up in London. This is part of a bigger global promotions round. The firm's London senior partner made some bold claims.
He stated their London litigation revenues now beat all Magic Circle firms. He said these new hires will help them become the top City disputes practice. The firm clearly thinks it's a major player now after seventeen years there.
