Pillsbury group defection to Winston & Strawn takes count to 11 partners

After the initial defection of three partners, another eight more have joined the mass move - coming from New York, Washington DC and San Francisco - and there are expectations of other announcements coming through the pipeline.

San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge

Winston & Strawn is particularly highlighting the transfer of Chris Zochowski from Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman - to the Washington DC office of Winston where he will 'serve as co-chair of the firm’s M&A and securities practice'. The other moves include the arrival of three corporate partners in New York and and two financial services partners who have moved in San Francisco. More Pillsbury partners are expected to join - particularly in New York and possibly abroad. 

Strategic expansion

Tom Fitzgerald, managing partner of Winston & Strawn said: 'We are placing an emphasis on strategically expanding our corporate practice in key markets including New York, Houston, London, Los Angeles, Silicon Valley, and Washington DC.' Source: Winston & Strawn
