WASHINGTON, D.C. – Former Congressman Gerry Sikorski (D-MN), chair of Holland & Knight's Government Section, and Rich Gold, chair of the firm's Public Policy and Regulation Practice Group, have been recognized by The Hill newspaper as two of Washington, D.C.'s top 50 lobbyists.
The list, which appears in the April 25 issues, includes those whose names "reflect the greater importance Democratic lobbyists play while not forgetting the Republications in town who maintain a major role in crafting legislation."
Since 2000, under the leadership of Gold, Holland & Knight has secured more than $3.4 billion in appropriations for its clients. Gold has been named to numerous top lawyer listings including Chambers USA – America's Leading Business Lawyers, Washington SmartCEO, Washington Business Journal, Best Lawyers in America, National Journal, Washingtonian and Super Lawyers. Sikorski, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1983-1993, has also been named to top listings including Best Lawyers in America, National Journal, Washingtonian and Super Lawyers.
Holland & Knight grew the fastest of the nation's top 10 lobbying firms in 2007, posting a 30 percent increase in revenues, according to Influence Magazine. The publication’s March 17, 2008 issue ranks Holland & Knight 5th among top U.S. lobbying firms, up from the 12th spot in its 2006 law and lobbying firm rankings.
