In a statement released Thursday, the plaintiffs litigation firm announced that Mark Willis is joining as partner in Washington, while the three other new hires are taking of counsel roles at Labaton.

Willis comes to Labaton from the firm Spector Roseman Kodroff & Willis, as do two of the new Labaton of counsels—Mark Bogen and James McGovern. All three will be based in Washington, where Labaton opened an office last month. Another new of counsel, David Schwartz, joins Labaton in New York from rival securities class action firm Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann.
