Jones Day scooped up three prominent Republican election and political law lawyers from Patton Boggs’ Washington office, the firm said Friday.

Benjamin Ginsberg, Donald McGahn and William McGinley will join Jones Day as partners on June 2 in Washington, where they will be part of the firm’s government-regulation practice. The moves to Jones Day come as Patton Boggs and Squire Sanders wrap up their merger, set to take effect June 1.
