Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan
Litigation boutique Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan receives a top ranking for its specialization in patent disputes for clients in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device sectors. Noting the firm's bench strength, a peer says the firm ensures "clients will receive uniformly high quality across a given case team." The firm is also notable for its capability in Hatch-Waxman matters for branded drug makers. "They seem to be on fire bringing brand life science cases," a peer says.
Life sciences global co-chair Peter Armenio is one of the firm's leading ANDA litigators, and has a national reputation as an IP trial lawyer. Notable representations include Forest Laboratories, Mallinckrodt and GlaxoSmithKline. Nick Cerrito leads the national life sciences practice, and is also noted for his ability as a trial-ready lawyer for branded pharmaceutical clients. Eric Stops's practice is primarily focused on pharma patent disputes, with additional expertise in FDA counseling, portfolio management and opinions.
