Notebook Firms London office sees a 'bounceback' as US-based firm sees £1bn disputes turnover Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan now ranks as the third-largest litigation practice in the world in terms of revenue, according to The Lawyer's Global Litigation Top 50 report (see page 18), with disputes bringing in $1.088bn (£660m) in 2014 -- 98 per cent of its total turnover.
Its eight-year-old London office, co-run by Richard East and Sue Prevezer QC, now accounts for around 2.6 per cent of that total figure, and it has not always been an easy ride.
The firm reported a 33 per cent "bounceback" in the City this spring, with office revenue rising to £26.2m from £19.8m in 2013. The increase followed a disheartening 28 per cent drop in 2013, and turnover still has not returned to its 2012 high of £27.5m, when a number of the firm's big disputes ended.
