A JDJournal tipster informed us yesterday that Quinn Emanuel held layoffs at their Los Angeles office.
Today the firm confirmed that our tipster was reliable: Quinn Emanuel laid off 10 staff members in LA this week.
No lawyers were affected.
Quinn Emanuel’s revenues climbed 15% to $442 million in 2008, and profits per partner rose 11% to $3.34 million. I’m sure the laid off staff were happy to hear it.
The firm also laid off “a handful” of people in March.
Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges LLP was founded in 1986 by John B. Quinn. It is headquartered in Los Angeles, with major offices in San Francisco, the Silicon Valley, and New York.
