Hogan Lovells offices at 555 13th Street, NW in Washington, D.C. October 25, 2016.

Hogan Lovells has bolstered its business and securities litigation offerings in New York, hiring a trio of partners away from Bracewell, including that firm’s former securities litigation co-chairman, Michael Hefter.

Hefter and fellow partners Seth Cohen and Ryan Philp have all made the leap, Hogan Lovells announced in a statement.  They all join the firm’s litigation practice in New York as partners.

Dennis Tracey, who heads the global law firm’s litigation practice in the Americas, said that taking in the group from Bracewell marks a strategic move that Hogan Lovells hopes will complement recent efforts to expand the firm’s mergers and acquisitions group. The goal, said Tracey, is to be able to offer securities litigation support that would, in part, back up a growing M&A practice.

“This move strategically meets the increasing demand by our New York clients for more Delaware M&A and securities litigation support,” said Tracey. “Our U.S. litigation practice has been focused on recruiting laterals with experience representing corporations and financial service companies in disputes that arise out of major public and private transactions, particularly with the recent expansion of our M&A practice in Northern California.”
