Quinn Emanuel Becomes First Am Law 100 Firm to Have a Female Name Partner
When Kathleen Sullivan began practicing law about 30 years ago at Cravath, Swaine & Moore, there were no female litigation partners practicing at big firms. On Thursday, capping a career that has included stints as a Harvard Law School professor and the dean of Stanford Law School, Sullivan became a name partner at Quinn Emanuel, marking the first time a woman's name is on the door of an Am Law 100 firm. The firm's new name is Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan.
