WASHINGTON, D.C. – Former Congressman Gerry Sikorski (D-MN), head of Holland & Knight's Government Section, and Rich Gold, head of the firm's Public Policy and Regulation Practice Group, have been recognized by Washingtonian magazine as two of Washington, D.C.'s top 50 lobbyists.
According to the publication, the "Hired Guns" list was compiled by researching lobby disclosure reports and identifying those who are considered 'heavy hitters' that get things done and have the best connections and influence in Washington, D.C.
Recently, both were named to The Hill's annual list of top lobbyists in Washington, D.C., which lists those whose names "never fail to arise when talk turns to a given issue," as well as those who enjoyed big legislative wins in the past year or have high-profile legislation before Congress.
Gold also was recognized in the March 30 issue of the National Journal as one of the leading Democratic lobbyists in Washington, D.C. Since 2000, under his leadership, Holland & Knight has secured more than $2.6 billion in appropriations for its clients.
Sikorski, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1983-1993, recently was named by his peers to the 2007 edition of The Best Lawyers in America for Government Relations Law.
Holland & Knight continues to be ranked among the top U.S. lobbying firms having consistent revenue growth. The firm was ranked 13th among the top lobbying firms in the country by the National Journal and ranked 6th among lobbying practices at law firms that earned more than $7 million in revenues in 2006 by Influence and The American Lawyer magazines.
