Building Your Future at Holland & Knight: Leslie Mahre's Colleague and Client Experience
Private Equity attorney Leslie Mahre found what she was looking for at Holland & Knight: colleagues whose work ethic and values match her own. She notes that the culture doesn't just shape the work environment – it attracts the kind of clients she's proud to represent.
"The clients that I am able to serve here at Holland & Knight are probably the best clients I've worked with in my career," she said.
Leslie Mahre: I genuinely like the people that we work with, which, for a group of 2,000 lawyers, I think is quite an accomplishment. My husband has told me that he's never seen me so happy in a job before, which I think is really saying something. The people here are great. I think everyone here really prioritizes doing a good job, but they also value being a good person.
I think we also attract clients who share that same value set. The clients that I am able to serve here at Holland & Knight are probably the best clients I've worked with in my career, who understand that there are greater things in life than just the work we do day in and day out. Our leadership does a really good job of communicating what the goals and the values and the direction of the firm are going to be, and so what you see is what you get.
