Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, the ultra-profitable Minneapolis-based firm, has lured three lawyers from Lovells and will set up shop in New York City for the first time, according to sources familiar with the matter. The new arrivals will officially join Robins Kaplan Friday.

Robins Kaplan chair Martin Lueck confirmed the news in an interview with The Am Law Daily, telling us the litigation-heavy firm has been looking to move into New York after building up strong relationships with New York-based corporate clients.
