Partner
Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP

Robert M. Schwartz is a partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP, where he spearheads high-stakes entertainment and media litigation for premier Hollywood studios, television networks and streaming platforms. He leverages more than three decades of courtroom experience to navigate complex digital copyright enforcement and constitutional protections before the U.S. Supreme Court. This expertise extends to sensitive criminal and civil defenses, such as when he famously directed the legal team that handled the civil aspects for actor Alec Baldwin’s Rust shooting case. Leveraging this record of success, Schwartz orchestrates high-profile defamation strategies and pre-publication reviews to protect corporate executives from damaging media exposure. He sustains this momentum by commanding an elite courtroom docket, recently securing a complete streaming rights arbitration victory that awarded total costs to corporate clients MGM and EPIX.
