Just weeks after launching in Austin, Texas, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan has expanded to another location, this time in Atlanta, with the hire of Alston & Bird antitrust partner Debra Bernstein.

Bernstein will lead the new Atlanta office, which the firm looks to grow in a "strong foothold" in the coming years. As in Austin, Quinn Emanuel has yet to lock down an office lease in Atlanta, although a firm spokesperson said that the firm will secure one in the future.
