Emily Kapur, Partner at Quinn Emanuel

Today, my guest is Emily Kapur, Partner at Quinn Emanuel, whose practice focuses on representing financial services, fintech, and crypto clients in complex litigation.  Her PhD in financial economics and extensive trial record position Emily as a particular force in expert witness strategy and she excels at making the worlds of academia and finance persuasive in court. A considerable portion of Emily’s practice is dedicated to crypto and fintech litigation, including in matters involving multibillion-dollar damages; in addition to substantial experience with financial distress, insolvency, valuation, accounting, and M&A disputes, particularly in Delaware and New York.

Before joining Quinn Emanuel, Emily served as an expert witness and helped direct expert-witness strategy for high-profile litigation matters.  She received her B.A. from Stanford University; her M.Sc. from the London School of Economics, where she was a Marshall Scholar; her Ph.D. from Stanford University; and her J.D. from Stanford Law School.  Emily’s Ph.D. thesis focused on bank failures and the management of financial services firms in bankruptcy.
