It was The Lawyer<\/a> who broke the news in October last year, which was picked up the same day by Lies, Damn Lies<\/a>, and subsequently by at least The Times<\/a> and The Guardian<\/a>. Today the Financial Times<\/a> (subscription required) can be added to the list making the following announcement: Cohen Milstein Hausfeld & Toll PLLC<\/a> is coming to town<\/a>. (Mind you, alert readers of Legal Week could have figured it out for themselves half a year ago already, on 6 July 2006. Dig up that day’s copy and skip to the recruitment pages, then look for two positions under the headings ‘Litigation (Class Actions) 4-8 pqe’ and ‘Class Action (US Firm) Lonndon’ [sic]; recognise which firm is the anonymous client’s name from the description there?)<\/p>\n

The previous articles emphasise the securities practice of the firm in their headlines first, before describing the various other practices as well, including the anti-trust one. Today’s article however confirms that the initial focus of the London office will be on anti-trust and probably not so much on “encourag[ing] British pension funds to sue the companies they invest in.”<\/p>\n

Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossman LLP<\/a> and Grant Eisenhofer PA<\/a> are mentioned in the article as examples of firms – with quotes from John P. (“Sean”) Coffey and Stuart M. Grant, respectively – that will not immediately follow here but who have been cultivating relationships with foreign institutional investors.<\/p>\n

For what may be a flavour of what’s coming, See Cohen Milstein’s March 2006 submission<\/a> to the European Commission in response to its Anti-Trust Green Paper<\/a> and the firm’s June 2006 price-fixing case<\/a> against British Airways plc<\/a> (LSE: BAY; NYSE: BAB) and Virgin Atlantic Airways Limited<\/a>.<\/p>\n
