Willkie Farr & Gallagher corporate partner Jon Lyman has joined Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, where he will help expand the firm’s office in Miami—a city that has become a center for private equity firms and financial institutions in recent years.

Lyman will initially be based out of New York for a few months and then move to Florida. He said he will help expand Pillsbury’s Miami office, which opened in 2017, leaning on the experience he had helping build Willkie’s London and Houston offices.
