Miami-based León Cosgrove Jiménez has opened an office in Houston, its second in Texas, hiring two trial partners, as the firm seeks to capitalize on synergies between the Texas and Florida markets.
Founding partner Derek León, who practices in both Miami and Houston, said he’s had an eye on the Houston market since León Cosgrove launched in 2013.
“It’s an impressive legal market and there’s been an incredible number of synergies between Florida and Texas,” León said, pointing to the “Latin connection,” the growing technology industries in the two states, and the firm’s financial services clients that do quite a bit of work in Houston.
