Two months after announcing its Miami office with the hiring of six local partners, Winston & Strawn is leveraging long-standing relationships in the city’s tight-knit legal market to staff up with the alumni of a few large firms. After a fresh litigation partner hire Monday that brings the firm to 16 lawyers in Miami, 14 are alumni of Greenberg Traurig, Shutts & Bowen and Jones Day.

Adam Foslid, who joins from Miami litigation boutique Stumphauzer Foslid Sloman Ross & Kolaya, is reuniting with a handful of former colleagues from Greenberg Traurig, where he chaired the Miami litigation department before leaving for the boutique in 2019 with fellow partners Ian Ross and Timothy Kolaya. (Sidley Austin hired Ross from the boutique last week as it too grows its Miami presence.)
