A U.S. judge in Washington, D.C., on Thursday cut in half a $185 million legal fee payout for Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, awarding the law firm $92.4 million for its work on a multibillion-dollar federal healthcare insurance case.
The request translated to more than $18,000 an hour for Quinn Emanuel. Top partners at the Los Angeles-founded firm often bill between $1,500 and $2,000 an hour, court records show.
