Robert “Bobby” Schwartz, a prominent entertainment litigator in Los Angeles, has joined Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan after more than three years at Irell & Manella.

In a statement announcing the move Wednesday, Quinn Emanuel co-founding partner John Quinn said the firm had courted Schwartz for more than a decade. Schwartz joined Irell & Manella in 2015 from O’Melveny & Myers, where he had spent his entire legal career and once chaired that firm’s high-powered entertainment and media litigation practice.
