As the coronavirus continues its global spread, another lawyer—and the first known Big Law partner to contract the illness in the U.S.—has tested positive for COVID-19, according to an announcement Sunday from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan. The firm plans to close its New York office this week as a precaution, and lawyers and staff will work remotely.
"Over the weekend, we got results showing that a partner in our New York office tested positive for the coronavirus," a representative for the firm said in a statement. "His symptoms are minor, and he is resting at home, where he has been since March 2 because of reported infections in his religious community in Westchester County."
The firm declined to name the partner. Quinn Emanuel, one of the country's 25 largest law firms by revenue, has more than 200 lawyers in its New York office.
