Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan said Thursday it plans to open a new office in Wilmington, Delaware, having already recruited a partner from a local firm to head the unopened office.

Leaders said the Am Law 50 firm, which exclusively provides litigation services, has been representing clients for several years in Delaware courts, including alongside its newly hired Delaware office leader, and the firm’s focus on complex commercial disputes and expedited litigation “typifies” the First State’s legal environment.
