MIAMI (February 1, 2016) – Holland & Knight has opened its 25th office in Stamford, Conn., with the addition of a group of corporate and M&A lawyers. The group is led by partners Christopher Cerrito, Martin Clarke, John Flaherty, Thomas Freed, Evan Seideman, Lindsay Sheehy, Gloria Skigen, Merrill Ulmer and Victoria Zerjav.

These outstanding lawyers will enable us to further enhance our service to clients,” said Steven Sonberg, Holland & Knight’s managing partner. “Their significant private equity and venture capital experience will allow the firm to grow its practices in these areas. The establishment of an office in Stamford, where many private equity funds are based, presents unique opportunities for the firm.”
