Kirby McInerney LLP announced today that a class action lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of investors who acquired Willbros Group, Inc. (“Willbros” or the “Company”) (NYSE:WG) securities during the period from August 4, 2014 through October 21, 2014 (the “class period”). Pursuant to applicable law, investors who wish to be appointed as lead plaintiff for the proposed class have until December 29, 2014 to file an application with the court.
