In its latest group hire, Winston & Strawn has brought on 10 partners in New York from Norton Rose Fulbright, just weeks after Norton Rose cemented its merger with the group’s former firm, Chadbourne & Parke.
Winston chairman Thomas Fitzgerald said the lawyers were “concerned about a number of conflicts” that would limit their practice as a result of the merger, which was finalized June 30. While the group respected Chadbourne and Norton Rose Fulbright, he said, the combined firm was “inconsistent with how they had ran their practice.”
