D.C. firm Howrey has gained three veteran litigation partners in its New York office. Michael F. Armstrong, 74, was most recently a partner at Cooley Godward Kronish’s NY office. Paul K. Rooney, 69, who has practiced at his own firm since 1970 also joins the team. William O. Purcell, 65, joins Howrey from the New York office of K&L Gates. Howrey’s New York office opened late last year after the acquisition of eight-lawyer litigation boutique Engel McCarney & Kenney. The firm has 600 lawyers worldwide.
