In this week's episode, Legal Speak hosts Cedra Mayfield and Patrick Smith chat with Law.com business of law reporter Vivviene Serret about her new podcast, "Southbound and Down." In its premiere episode, Serret interviews Beatriz Azcuy, the co-managing partner of Sidley Austin's Miami office. Sidley Austin is one of several Am Law 100 firms that have made moves to South Florida within the last five years. The firm is also part of a greater pipeline of Chicago-founded firms flocking to Miami for more than just its weather. In addition to examining the firm's success since entering the market in 2022, the duo discuss client demand and what comes next in the firm's growth strategy.
