Summary
Josh Kaufman joined Katten from DLA Piper to run the firm's new Miami office while also becoming a capital markets partner and lead partner of its Public Company Advisory Practice.
Katten tied the launch to its Katten 2030 strategy, saying Miami's fast-growing finance market is drawing private capital, family offices, investment funds and multinational companies that need legal counsel.
Kaufman's practice spans IPOs, de-SPACs, reverse mergers, direct listings, PIPEs and debt offerings, with experience advising public companies before the SEC, Nasdaq and NYSE.
The office gives Katten a South Florida base to target private wealth, hedge fund, private equity, private credit, M&A, real estate and emerging-growth clients as the nearly 650-lawyer firm expands in key markets.
