“We are very pleased with the new additions to our firm,” said Steven Sonberg, Holland & Knight managing partner. “The addition of Paul and Brian, two highly experienced transactional lawyers, is an important step in growing our presence in the Philadelphia market. They will strengthen our expanding national corporate and M&A practice. We will continue to look for opportunities in the Philadelphia legal market.”
