The national litigation firm announced Tuesday that it was bringing on Sheila Birnbaum, the former co-head of the mass torts and insurance litigation group at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, and partner Mark Cheffo in New York.

Birnbaum and Cheffo are experts in products liability litigation, and both lawyers are expected to join the firm’s New York office sometime this week, where they will cohead Quinn Emanuel’s global products liability and mass torts practice.
