Quinn Emanuel partner Tara Lee was recently recognized by Benchmark Litigation as "US Trial Lawyer of the Year" for 2017. The award is chosen based on the results of the intensive peer-and-client review-driven study and nationwide interviews conducted for the Benchmark Litigation to compile the Top 100 Trial Lawyers list. Tara joined Quinn Emanuel partners John Quinn, Charles Verhoeven, Michael Carlinsky, and William Burck on the Top 100 Trial Lawyers List this year, and was subsequently recognized as the Trial Lawyer of the Year at the Benchmark Litigation dinner in New York. This award follows her previous recognition as a National Law Journal Pioneer and Trailblazer in Litigation and as one of the Financial Times' Most Innovative Lawyers.
