Quinn Emanuel loses another partner to JHAB

In a significant move within the legal sector, Elizabeth Wilson has joined Joseph Hage Aaronson & Bremen LLP (JHAB) as a Partner in their Construction, Infrastructure and Energy team. Her arrival marks the fourth partner to leave Quinn Emanuel for JHAB in just over a year, following the departures of James Bremen, James Mayers, and Mark Grasso in March 2025. This trend highlights a growing momentum within JHAB's practice area, with Elizabeth bringing nearly two decades of experience in construction, energy, and commercial disputes tied to complex, high-value projects globally.

Elizabeth has represented clients across various sectors including oil and gas, power, infrastructure, mining, IT, and defence. She has extensive experience in litigation, predominantly in the UK Courts, especially the Technology and Construction Court, as well as participating in international arbitration. Her impressive track record spans projects not just in the UK but across Europe, Malaysia, the Middle East, and Australia among others.

The implications of her joining JHAB are considerable. With this strategic hire, JHAB's Construction, Infrastructure and Energy practice is now one of the most thoroughly resourced teams of specialists in London. The firm has experienced rapid growth under the leadership of James Bremen, who has transformed the firm since its rebranding from JHA to JHAB. Joe Hage, the founder, expressed pride in the firm's evolution stating, "We have built JHAB's Construction, Infrastructure and Energy practice into the strongest specialist team in London for the world's most demanding disputes."

He further noted that the recruitment of lawyers with such high-calibre talent reflects the firm’s burgeoning reputation. Bremen echoed these sentiments, referring to Elizabeth as one of the leading construction disputes lawyers of her generation. He said, “I’m delighted to be working with her again,” further remarking on the team's quick establishment as a formidable force in the field of international construction, infrastructure, and energy disputes.

Recognition of Elizabeth's work has also been considerable; she has been named as Up and Coming by Chambers for 2024-2026. Clients have praised her composure, insight into commercial realities, and capability to address complex issues. Legal 500 UK 2024 ranks her in Contentious Construction and lists her as a recommended individual in both International Arbitration and Public International Law.
