Tampa-based global law firm names new chair, CEO

Holland & Knight, a Tampa law firm with more 2,000 attorneys practicing at 34 offices around the world, has named Robert Grammig its new chairman and CEO, succeeding Steven Sonberg, who plans to step down in the first quarter of 2024.

The firm’s new leadership team, according to a news release, also includes Managing Partner David Whitestone and Deputy Managing Partner Tiffani Lee. The changes come amid massive growth for Holland & Knight, which merged with Tennessee-based Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis in March 2023 and Texas-based Thompson & Knight in August 2021.

During Sonberg’s 16 years of leadership, the release states, the firm has added nearly 900 lawyers and 17 offices, and through the end of 2022 had grown its revenue by nearly $1 billion.
