Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP is a global white shoe law firm. It is one of the most prestigious and selective law firms in the world. Since 2011, profits per equity partner have been the second highest in the world.

The firm is headquartered in Los Angeles, California and currently employs 700 attorneys throughout twenty-one locations around the world, including New York City, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Houston, Tokyo, London, Mannheim, Moscow, Hamburg, Paris, Hong Kong, Munich, Sydney, Brussels, Seattle, Perth, Shanghai and Zurich. The firm's largest office is located in New York City.

The firm was established in 1986 by John B. Quinn, Eric Emanuel, David Quinto, and Phyllis Kupferstein with the purpose of being a litigation-only firm. Joined in 1988 by name partner A. William Urquhart, the firm aimed to do away with law firm formalities. Beginning in 2007, Quinn Emanuel expanded internationally by opening its first foreign office in Tokyo. A year later, the firm expanded to London, then Chicago in 2009, Mannheim, Germany in 2010, Moscow in 2011, and Hamburg in 2012. On September 1, 2011, Washington DC's Legal Times Blog announced that the firm was opening up its first office in the nation's capital. In 2013, the firm opened offices in Paris, Munich, Hong Kong, and Sydney, and in 2014 it opened a Brussels office and a Houston office. LegalWeek reported that Quinn Emanuel opened an office in Seattle in 2015.
