Negotiating a Win-Win Zoning Solution

An enterprising startup that offered co-working space for entrepreneurs and independent workers in San Francisco's historic Chinatown faced opposition from zoning authorities and a powerful neighborhood advocacy group. Holland & Knight's Land Use and Zoning team negotiated a resolution that was a win-win for all the parties.

A litigator from Holland & Knight's Public and Charitable Service Department, which coordinates pro bono initiatives, successfully represented a 76-year-old Florida man who served 42 years for a crime he didn't commit. It was the first case reviewed by the State Attorney's Conviction Integrity Unit (CIU), which reviews claims of wrongful conviction.

Holland & Knight has been named a Law360 2021 "Energy Practice Group of the Year," capping off a landmark year that saw the firm's energy practice become a nationwide powerhouse following its merger with Thompson & Knight in August.

Holland & Knight's M&A, maritime, taxation, private equity and corporate services attorneys advised Southern Cross Group in the sale of its portfolio company UP Offshore to a newly created joint venture. The multimillion-dollar transaction included complex debt structures negotiated with respect to several maritime jurisdictions across Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Holland & Knight Intellectual Property Group helped Finnish company Polar Electro Oy, a global maker of wearable training and activity devices and heart rate monitors, secure two separate legal victories in ongoing patent cases.

Navigating the Waters: The SEC's Focus on ESG

Holland & Knight Partner and former SEC Enforcement Assistant Director Scott Mascianica sat down with Eric Werner, Associate Regional Director for Enforcement in the SEC's Fort Worth Regional Office, to discuss the agency's history on matters of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), the existing disclosure framework and materiality paradigm, existing rules that involve ESG considerations and the agency's recently proposed rule that, if enacted, will mandate sweeping new climate-related disclosures for public companies. In this post, we break down the discussion with Werner.
