Winston & Strawn announced its latest hire in Miami on Tuesday as the firm expects continued demand for real estate expertise in the area, even as the broader real estate market is experiencing a slowdown.

Rafael Aguilar is joining the Miami office, which opened in May, after spending six years at Shutts & Bowen. While there, Aguilar focused on real estate matters and often worked with clients from Latin America. Now under Winston's umbrella, he's expected to work within the same sphere, which is driving some attractive real estate investment activity important for the firm.
