Holland & Knight has bolstered its national Litigation Section with the addition of accomplished litigator Romeo Quinto as a partner in Chicago. Mr. Quinto joins the firm from Morgan Lewis.
"Romeo is an excellent addition to our litigation group in Chicago and will be an asset to our clients," said Timothy Ray, head of the Chicago Litigation Practice. "With more than 20 years of experience handling complex business disputes in federal and state courts across the country at the trial and appellate levels, his talent is first-rate, and we are excited to welcome him to our firm."
Mr. Quinto's practice focuses on complex commercial litigation in a wide variety of subject matters, including antitrust claims, trade secrets, breach of contract, consumer fraud, unfair competition and deceptive business practices. He has represented companies in a variety of industries, including financial institutions, healthcare and pharmaceutical clients, and transportation companies.
Mr. Quinto also is experienced in domestic and international arbitration, as well as in advising clients and handling investigations brought by federal and state agencies such as the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and state attorneys general. Mr. Quinto previously clerked with the Honorable David Dowd Jr. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.
"I'm thrilled to be joining one of the largest litigation practices in the country," said Mr. Quinto. "I look forward to collaborating with my outstanding colleagues at Holland & Knight in Chicago and across the firm, and helping to take the platform to new heights. I'm also excited about actively participating in the firm's many diversity and inclusion initiatives."
Mr. Quinto received a J.D. degree from Loyola University Chicago School of Law and a B.S. degree from DePaul University.
