Richard East, a Kirkland & Ellis partner in London, had two solid offers from other firms when a client urged him to meet with William Urquhart of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges, a firm he "had vaguely heard of." Now he's opening a U.K. outpost for the Los Angeles litigation shop. Quinn Emanuel's plan is to replicate its U.S. model with local London lawyers, marketing its willingness to go up against large investment banks and accounting firms, a space many other major U.K. firms can't fill.

Richard East, a Kirkland & Ellis partner in London, had two solid offers from other firms when a client urged him to meet with William Urquhart of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges, a firm he “had vaguely heard of.”
Urquhart was in London, so as a courtesy, East agreed to a Friday lunch meeting to discuss the litigation and restructuring market with him.
