Quinn Emanuel Shuts Down New York Office After Partner Tests Positive For Coronavirus
“A partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan in New York has tested positive for the coronavirus, prompting the firm to close the office as a precaution this week,” reports Amanda Robert in ABA Journal’s Daily News.
“The firm did not name the attorney, but according to Law.com, he is the first known BigLaw partner to contract the coronavirus in the United States. An attorney at Lewis and Garbuz, a Manhattan trusts and estates law firm, also tested positive for the illness last week.”
“John Quinn, founding partner of the 800-plus attorney firm, also told Law.com on Sunday that the partner belongs to a religious community in Westchester County, where other infections have been reported. He has been resting at home since March 2.”
