Miami Office Managing Partner Enrique Martin was featured in a Q&A with Law360 Pulse where he discussed Winston\u2019s move to two floors in Miami\u2019s Southeast Financial Center, highlighting the firm\u2019s continued investment in South Florida and its ability to serve clients globally. The firm\u2019s Miami office first opened in 2022 with six lateral partners and has since grown to have more than 40 lawyers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no question that South Florida \u2014 Miami \u2014 continues its trajectory here among the most important financial hubs,\u201d Rick said. \u201cThere\u2019s no question that Winston\u2019s investment here is a testament to its belief that the growth of this area and attraction of investment capital will continue for the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rick attributed Winston\u2019s success in Miami to three key components of the firm\u2019s hiring and office development strategy: recruiting local talent seeking an international platform, establishing a strong on-the-ground presence in a key global financial hub to support cross-office collaboration and client needs, and positioning the office to attract top lateral partners relocating to South Florida. The approach emphasizes culture, connectivity, and leveraging the firm\u2019s global reach to differentiate itself in a competitive market.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s created an opportunity for other Winston attorneys from other offices to effectively cross-sell and cross-staff matters here in South Florida, and so for the lateral market, that’s something that’s very important and very relevant. … That\u2019s something that is highly important when you’re sitting with laterals interested in making a move,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
