Five lawyers leave Holland & Knight in part because of conflicts of interest
The five partners who comprised Holland & Knight's media practice in Tampa are leaving to start a law firm. Gregg D. Thomas, who headed the Holland & Knight group, will be joined by Carol LoCicero, James L. McGuire, Susan Bunch and James B. Lake at the Tampa practice Thomas & LoCicero. While at Holland & Knight, the partners' client roster has included the New York Times Co., Tribune Co., Knight-Ridder Inc. and Media General Inc. The lawyers, all long-time Holland & Knight employees, said they were leaving in part because of conflicts of interest and a desire to practice in a smaller firm. Their resignations come a week after 12 lawyers from Holland & Knight's former St. Petersburg office joined Trenam Kemker. Source
