Boris Bronfentrinker said: “When I decided to leave Hausfeld , I knew there was only one firm that could provide me with the platform I need to develop my practice. Competition disputes are increasingly a global issue, and Quinn Emanuel has a truly global footprint that will enable me to represent my clients in recovering damages or defending claims. They have built up a formidable litigation practice across Europe in a very short period of time and I am looking forward to developing the competition litigation practice with my partners from around the network. From my very first meeting with a few of the partners in the London office, I knew this was the right place for me and my practice. The obvious quality, energy and ‘can do’ attitude was apparent right from the get go. I can’t wait to start.”
