Holland & Knight Managing Partner Steven Sonberg Begins Second Term

MIAMI (April 25, 2013) — Steven Sonberg, managing partner of Holland & Knight LLP, began his second term this week. Mr. Sonberg became managing partner in 2008 and was re-elected to a second five-year term without opposition in March.

Mr. Sonberg's re-election followed the firm's announcement of strong financial results for the fourth year in a row.

During his first term, Mr. Sonberg focused on increasing efficiency and collaboration across the firm's U.S. and foreign offices. He also presided over the firm's expansion in Colombia and the Middle East and impressive growth in the area of lateral recruitment.

During the firm's recent partner meeting in Orlando, Fla. at which he was elected, Mr. Sonberg stated, "Our firm is stronger than it has ever been – financially, professionally, and institutionally. And we continue to receive high marks from our clients for the quality and value of our client service."
