Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan has promoted a senior lawyer in Australia to partner as part of its nine-strong global promotion round.
Elan Sasson, who’s based in Sydney, has been elevated to the partnership of the global litigation powerhouse from senior associate. He joined the firm in 2014 from Baker McKenzie.
