Four partners from prominent plaintiff’s firm Labaton Sucharow have formed their own boutique focusing on representing large investors in class actions and other litigation.

Dominic Auld, Javier Bleichmar, Joseph Fonti and Stephen Tountas formed Bleichmar Fonti Tountas & Auld in early August, working out of 1501 Broadway with two associates. The four partners have worked together for about a dozen years at Labaton and their previous firm, Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann.
