Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman has opened an office in Miami with six lawyers from Boies Schiller Flexner.

Former Boies Schiller partner Jennifer Altman, who handles complex corporate litigation, will serve as managing partner of the new office, which opened Thursday. Altman and three others joining the firm—partners Michael Kosnitzky, Keith Blum and special counsel Ivan Mitev—previously worked together at the Miami firm Zack Kosnitzky, which merged with Boies Schiller in 2002.
