SAN FRANCISCO — Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan has a new intellectual property litigator in Silicon Valley. Karin Kramer, who’s been a trial lawyer for more than 30 years, is now a partner in the firm’s Redwood City office.

Kramer had been partner at Howrey’s San Francisco office since 2006, with an IP practice that focused primarily on patent disputes. And she enjoyed the work, she said.
