\u201cJosh\u2019s arrival is a defining moment for our Capital Markets practice,\u201d Mark Wood, partner and co-chair of Katten\u2019s capital markets practice, said. \u201cMiami continues to attract private capital, family offices, investment funds and multinational companies seeking sophisticated legal counsel, and Josh is uniquely positioned to serve that client base.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout his career, Kaufman has developed deep ties to the South Florida business community and is well positioned to anchor Katten\u2019s presence in the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cJosh is a proven leader with strong relationships and a market-leading practice in one of the country\u2019s most compelling business centers,\u201d Gil Soffer, chairman of Katten, said. \u201cThe opening of our Miami office allows us to deliver Katten\u2019s full capabilities to clients in South Florida and it reflects our commitment to investing in talent and key markets as part of Katten 2030, our firm\u2019s strategic plan.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Katten added Josh Kaufman as managing partner of Katten\u2019s new Miami office.
