A five-lawyer public finance group from Winston & Strawn has joined Katten Muchin Rosenman's New York office as the firm looks to expand its practice presence nationwide.

Winston & Strawn partners James Normile, William Dudine and Patricia Mollica are now members of Katten's government and public finance group. Winston & Strawn of counsel Alexander Deland and associate Catriona Morgan have also joined Katten as special counsel in New York.

“We are really excited to be here at Katten,” Normile said Thursday. With the move, Normile has left the office at 200 Park Avenue that he occupied for more than 30 years and moved several blocks north to Katten's midtown Manhattan headquarters.
