In Memory of Quinn Johnson

Quinn Johnson

Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg is heartbroken to share that our Partner and General Counsel, Quinn Johnson, passed away on September 27, 2026.

Quinn was a valued and dear RJLF Partner and General Counsel. She brought something rare to our team. She had spent years as a trial lawyer, and she sat in the client’s chair. She knew what it takes to win a case, and she knew what a win has to mean for the business behind it. She brought dazzling intellect, judgment, and most of all integrity. All in the highest traditions of the bar.

Before RJLF, Quinn served as Vice President and Deputy General Counsel at Arconic Corporation, and before that Alcoa. She was beloved by the Arconic/Alcoa community, where she advised the CEO and Board and managed a docket of commercial disputes, from product liability to international arbitration, securities litigation, intellectual property, and crisis response. Earlier in her career she spent nearly a decade as a trial lawyer at Meyer, Unkovic & Scott in Pittsburgh.

Quinn led beyond her legal work. She was global co-chair of Thrive, Arconic’s women’s network, and she made a point of supporting and encouraging other women in the legal profession. She served on the Board of The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, a role that reflected her belief that every child deserves the chance to grow, discover, and experience the world. She earned her J.D. magna cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law and her B.A. cum laude from the College of William & Mary.

“Quinn was a trusted partner and a true friend who cared deeply about the people around her. She was a bright light who made everyone around her better. We are grateful for the time with her even if cut short. We are brokenhearted, but are committed to carrying on her spirit of optimism, excellence, and integrity,” said Courtland Reichman, Chair of RJLF.

Our thoughts are with Quinn’s husband, Brian, their children, and her extended family.

We will miss you, Quinn.
