Marrow & Quinn is a boutique litigation firm of fourteen trial lawyers. We take a deliberately small number of high-stakes matters each year — and we try them to win. No volume practice, no junior bench warming a file. The partner who answers your call is the partner who stands at trial.
Trusted as lead and co-counsel by
We do not advertise a hundred services. We litigate the matters where the outcome decides the company, the fortune, or the reputation — and we decline the rest.
Contract, partnership, and shareholder disputes where eight and nine figures turn on the record. We have tried 89 cases to verdict and resolved hundreds more on terms our clients set.
Government investigations, DOJ and SEC inquiries, and indictments. Discreet, fast, and built to end the matter before charges — or to win the room when it goes to trial.
When a single judgment can end the enterprise, we lead. A dedicated trial team, a war room, and a partner who has stood before a jury more than 200 times.
We protect verdicts and reverse losses. 31 appeals argued before state high courts and the federal circuits, with a brief that reads as well as it reasons.
Litigation that plays out in public. We coordinate legal strategy, the press, and the boardroom so the story in the courtroom matches the story everywhere else.
Board-directed, privilege-protected fact-finding on a deadline. We deliver the truth, the exposure, and the path forward — in writing, on time, under oath if it comes to that.
A record measured in verdicts, not billboards
Most disputes settle the day the other side believes you will actually try the case. We make that belief unavoidable — and we price the engagement so our incentives match yours.
We prepare every matter as if it is going to verdict. Settlement leverage is a byproduct of being genuinely ready to win.
No file is handed down. The partner who takes your matter argues the motions, takes the depositions, and stands at trial.
We accept a limited number of matters each year so each one receives the attention a bet-the-company case demands.
Hourly, flat-fee, contingency, and hybrid arrangements. We will share risk when we believe in the case — and we usually do.
“Three firms told us to settle. Marrow & Quinn told us they could win it — then did, at trial, in front of a jury. The verdict saved the company.”
“A federal investigation that could have ended my career was closed with no charges in nine months. I never once spoke to an associate. I spoke to the partner.”
“They are the lawyers other lawyers call when it is truly bet-the-company. Relentless preparation, surgical at trial, and honest with us about the odds the entire way.”
High-stakes commercial disputes, white-collar defense, and appeals — typically where the amount in controversy, the criminal exposure, or the reputational risk is significant enough to justify a partner-led trial team. If your matter is better served by a larger firm or a volume practice, we will tell you and point you to one.
It depends on the matter. We work on hourly, flat-fee, contingency, and hybrid arrangements, and we are genuinely willing to share risk when we believe in a case. We agree the structure in writing before any work begins, with no surprises.
A partner leads every matter we accept and is personally involved through verdict or resolution. Our associates support the work; they never replace the relationship. This is the core reason we keep our docket small.
Yes. We have tried 89 cases to verdict and prepare every matter as though it will be the ninetieth. Most disputes resolve favorably precisely because the other side knows we are ready and able to try the case.
Frequently. AmLaw 100 firms and corporate legal departments bring us in as lead trial counsel or to argue an appeal. We integrate cleanly with existing teams and are comfortable both leading and supporting.
For urgent matters — a new indictment, a temporary restraining order, a fast-moving investigation — we can convene a team within 24 hours. The first consultation is confidential and without obligation.
Every consultation is confidential and speaks directly to a partner. Tell us what is at stake, and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right firm to win it.
