"We are very pleased to add Dahesh to our ultra-high-net-worth planning practice on the East Coast, where we already have considerable strength," said David Scott Sloan, co-leader of Holland & Knight's Global Private Wealth Services Group. "In addition to Pennsylvania and New York, Dahesh is admitted in New Jersey, which is helpful as several of our New York City-based clients physically reside in New Jersey."
