Holland & Knight Announces Creation of Private Wealth Services Section
July 15, 2003
Edward "Ed" Koren- Tampa
The inaugural edition of this newsletter is our opportunity
to announce the formation of the Private Wealth Services Section of Holland &
Knight. Previously, we were the Trusts and Estates Group, and a part of the
Business Law Department. The reason for this change is to better serve our
individual clients. For instance, if you live in the northeast and winter in
Florida, we want you to know that our lawyers work as a team and will provide
you quality services for your business and personal matters. Whether you are
moving between New England, New York, Illinois, the West Coast or Washington,
D.C., and retirement areas such as California and Florida, we can still be your
lawyers and law firm.
The creation of this new Section, and other practice
management changes within the firm are designed to shift us from a geographic
structure to one that emphasizes the particular practice specialties of the
Firm. Under this new approach, the Private Wealth Services Section will be one
of five firmwide Sections, reflecting the emphasis that the Firm is placing upon
our individual clients.
The result of this reorganization is to further strengthen
what was already the largest group of lawyers in the country who are focused
upon the legal needs of individuals. In addition to estate and tax planning and
trust and estate administration, lawyers in the new Private Wealth Services
Section represent clients in trusts and estates litigation, business succession
planning, charitable and tax-exempt organizations, and elder law matters. We
believe that we will better carry out our commitment to provide our individual
clients with the finest representation available.
We are excited by the Firm’s new affirmation of its
commitment to this area of the practice and the legal needs of individuals and
their families. We invite your comments and suggestions and look forward to
working with you on your legal needs for many years to come.
