McDermott adds four partners to Miami office
McDermott Will & Emery in Miami has hired a trio of DLA Piper tax lawyers as partners, as well as a corporate partner.
The three partners — Arianne Plasencia (pictured), Mike Silva, and Greg Weigand, together with of counsel Ryan Coyle — will advise on private client tax issues, acting for high-net-worth families, their operating companies and their family offices.
According to the firm’s head of tax, Jane Wells May, “Our clients seek counsel bridging US and Latin American opportunities. This team’s arrival significantly enriches our growing focus in this area — particularly in the Miami market, a gateway for US-LatAm business.”
In addition to the trio of hires, McDermott also boosted its corporate and restructuring practice with the addition of Miami-based partner Craig Rasile, again from DLA Piper.
Rasile had been managing partner of DLA Piper’s Miami office since 2011, having practised as a partner at both Hunton & Williams and Holland & Knight prior to that.
