Katten Miami market expansion accelerates as the firm appoints Josh Kaufman to lead its new office. This boosts their capital market skills. Katten’s Miami market expansion further helps them extend their geographical coverage within a rapidly growing financial center.
Kaufman becomes Managing Partner for the Miami office. He will also head the Public Company Advisory Practice. Kaufman was earlier associated with DLA Piper, where he advised rapidly growing firms on their financing strategies.
His areas of experience span equity and debt capital markets deals, which involve IPOs, reverse mergers, direct listings, and PIPEs. In addition, he has also worked on secondary issues and convertible bonds. Furthermore, he has also represented companies before the SEC, Nasdaq, and NYSE.
“Josh’s arrival is a defining moment for our Capital Markets practice,” said Mark Wood, Partner and Co-Chair of Katten’s Capital Markets practice. “Miami continues to attract private capital, family offices, investment funds and multinational companies seeking sophisticated legal counsel, and Josh is uniquely positioned to serve that client base.”
Strong Leadership Strengthens Capital Markets Capabilities
Additionally, Kaufman has helped companies within sectors such as technology, life sciences, and financial services. He has also provided legal expertise for digital asset and data center companies. Furthermore, he has experience in different regions like Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Miami is developing into a significant business and finance hub.

The Capital Markets group at the firm represents transactions throughout the life cycle of businesses. They span from early investment to public listings. Moreover, the group has represented transactions worth $5 million to $3.5 billion.
“Josh is a proven leader with strong relationships and a market-leading practice in one of the country’s most compelling business centers,” said Katten Chairman Gil Soffer. “The opening of our Miami office allows us to deliver Katten’s full capabilities to clients in South Florida and it reflects our commitment to investing in talent and key markets as part of Katten 2030, our firm’s strategic plan.”
The company works with almost 650 lawyers around the world. The company has branches in all major cities of the United States, in London, and in Shanghai.
