Dallas plaintiffs firm Baron & Budd has opened a new office in Washington, D.C., with Simmer Law Group founder Scott Simmer and two other lawyers from his firm.

The three Washington, D.C.-based lawyers bring expertise in such areas as antitrust, fraud claims, qui tam and third-party payer litigation to 60-lawyer Baron & Budd. The move to a larger firm will enable them to expand their practices, they said.
