Following news that Florida-based Holland & Knight and Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis will merge operations, the firms are providing more details about their plans. According to the Nashville Business Journal, the firms began talking in February 2022, on the recommendation of people at the firms who knew each other through membership in an international business organization. Following productive conversations, the 69 equity partners at Waller voted unanimously to move forward. Once the merger is complete — by April, according to the firms — Waller Chair Matt Burnstein will become executive partner of Holland & Knight's Nashville office. In addition, he will join the firm's Directors Committee, its highest policy-making body. Waller's administrative staff and related professionals also will make the move to Holland & Knight. In a separate piece today, the news source looks at how the merger will affect Waller’s Birmingham office.
