After launching its Miami office in mid-May, Chicago-headquartered Am Law 100 firm Winston & Strawn announced the hiring of two more local Big Law partners on Thursday, bringing its Miami attorney head count to nine.

The new arrivals are McDermott Will & Emery bankruptcy partner Craig Rasile and Jones Day M&A partner Nicholas Rodriguez, who join an office led by former Jones Day colleague Enrique Martin. In a press release, Martin said the incoming partners’ local and international market knowledge will help the firm service a growing demand for complex transactional work in Miami.
