Judge Alsup disqualified Quinn Emanuel from representing X Corp due to prior representation of Bright Data in a related case, violating duty of loyalty.
The judge stated 'disqualification extends vicariously to the entire firm' as Quinn's prior work with Bright Data on scraping-related matters was deemed 'substantially related.'
Firm spokesperson stated disagreement with the ruling, evaluating next steps, aiming to stay on the case for a potential victory.
Quinn Emanuel's history with Elon Musk's legal matters and its conflict out in representing X Corp highlight implications of prior client relationships in legal representation.
