Winston & Strawn’s Washington, D.C. offices on K Street, NW.

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.”

The group is led by corporate lawyers Talbert Navia and Allen Miller, who were co-heads of the Latin America practice at Chadbourne. The group also includes Julissa Reynoso, Mort Grosz, Beth Kramer, Scott Naidech, Sey-Hyo Lee, Claude Serfilippi, Kevin Smith and Marcelo Blackburn.

All 10 are now partners at Winston. They were all previously partners at Chadbourne except for Blackburn, who was counsel.

Winston said the group works with Latin America-based corporate and private equity clients, U.S.-based clients involved in Latin America, and clients in the Iberian Peninsula. The lawyers focus on mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, financings, private equity and fund formation, joint ventures, reorganizations and international arbitration and litigation.
