As a firm founded in Los Angeles in 1986, Quinn Emanuel has deep roots in our community and has achieved stellar results for our clients in California and beyond. We excel in wildfire litigation. Since 2007, we have investigated and litigated some of the largest fires on the West Coast:
- We represented over 100 homeowners in pursuing their insurance recoveries and assessing their losses in connection with the 2018 Woolsey Fire in Malibu, which burned 96,949 acres, destroyed 1,643 structures, killed three people and led to the evacuation of 300,000 people.
- We represented San Diego Gas and Electric Company in the Witch Creek Fire (powerlines contacting each other), Guejito Fire (electrical facilities contacting communication facilities), and Rice Canyon Fire (vegetation into powerlines). We also represented Pacific Gas and Electric Company in the Butte Fire (vegetation into powerlines).
- We currently represent Kamehameha Schools, Hawaii’s largest private landowner, in the Lahaina Fire in Maui, Hawaii. The fires, alleged to have been started by Hawaiian Electric Company’s power lines, are reported to have caused over 100 deaths, personal injury, and property damage throughout Maui. The parties, including Kamehameha Schools, have reached a tentative global settlement pending court approvals.
- We have litigated key wildfire issues in courts, including inverse condemnation, class certification, statute of limitations, and damages issues.
Law360 has repeatedly recognized Quinn Emanuel as among the four law firms in-house counsel least like to oppose. And we are often labeled ”the” most feared. We understand why. Our lawyers firm-wide have won approximately $80 billion for our clients through aggregated judgments and settlements in a variety of practice areas including five 9-figure jury verdicts, over 40 9-figure settlements, and 20 10-figure settlements. Our proven ability to take high-stakes plaintiffs’ cases to trial—and to win at trial—presents our adversaries with a significant risk they must consider from day one, often resulting in better settlements for our clients. Of course prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome, and any recovery depends on the particular facts and circumstances of each case. But we are vigorous advocates who will work hard to position our clients for the best possible outcome for their matters.
