It didn’t taken long for Hausfeld LLP to go international.

The firm — which launched in November after Cohen Milstein Hausfeld & Toll voted out name partner Michael Hausfeld — announced on Wednesday that is opening a London office.

Hausfeld LLP’s gain is a loss for Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll, as the firm is now called.

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,” according to a statement from Hausfeld LLP.

The former Cohen Milstein attorneys joining Hausfeld’s London office are partners Vincent Smith and Anthony Maton, as well as 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. The firm did not respond to a request for comment on the issue on Wednesday. Hausfeld said in a statement that the London office is “an important global strategic presence and ensures that [Hausfeld LLP] is perfectly positioned to continue its pursuit for access to justice throughout Europe and elsewhere.”

The focus of the new firm is on large, international and national litigation involving individuals, corporations and organizations.

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.
