Holland & Knight Ranked a Top Law Firm for Director Liability Issues by Directors & Boards Magazine
September 24, 2008
WASHINGTON, D.C. – September 24, 2008 – For the second year in a row, Holland & Knight has been ranked one of the nation’s top law firms for dealing with director liability issues, according to a survey released by Directors & Boards magazine. The results of the second annual Top Corporate Governance Law Firms survey were based on the responses of over 400 directors and board members to a reader questionnaire.
"Holland & Knight is proud that corporate directors and other senior management throughout the country identified our firm as one of the very best in protecting their personal assets," said Steven Sonberg, Managing Partner of Holland & Knight. "The ranking acknowledges the firm's breadth and depth of experience in evaluating, negotiating and enforcing directors and officers liability insurance policies, along with our reputation for providing superior client service."
Directors & Boards publishing director David Shaw said, "We did not provide a list of firms from which to choose, but rather asked survey respondents to fill in up to three law firms in each category. This "unaided" response is more powerful, in our opinion. Additionally, we masked out responses from non¬directors or company executives to ensure that only board members and senior management opinions were included out of the total respondents to the survey.”
