Hausfeld LLP, which launched in November after Cohen Milstein Hausfeld & Toll voted out name partner Michael Hausfeld, announced this week it is opening a London office staffed by four former Cohen Milstein lawyers.
Four of the five attorneys in Cohen Milstein’s London office are moving over to Hausfeld, with the fifth attorney leaving to “pursue other interests.”
The former Cohen Milstein attorneys joining Hausfeld’s London office are partners Vincent Smith and Anthony Maton, and associate Scott Campbell and consultant Ingrid Gubbay. Smith and Maton are heading the London office, which will be called Hausfeld & Co. LLP.
It’s not clear what the shakeup means for Cohen Milstein’s future in London.
In addition to the London lawyers, 17 other attorneys from Cohen Milstein followed Hausfeld to his new firm, and it now has a total of 25 associates and partners.
