Holland & Knight, a global law firm with approximately 2,200 lawyers and other professionals in 34 offices throughout the world, provides outstanding career opportunities for attorneys at all levels. To address clients' needs as effectively and efficiently as possible, we work collaboratively, drawing upon our depth and breadth of legal experience and industry knowledge. Our "one-firm" structure means that we work across departments and offices so that we can support the most complex matters at all levels, with comprehensive and value-added service. We believe it is essential to offer our clients the broad range of perspectives that a diverse team brings, thus encouraging innovative thinking and unique solutions.
Our goal is to have a positive impact on our clients, our communities, our profession, and the lives of our employees and their families. This goal is clearly stated in the Holland & Knight Commitment, our written mission statement for more than 30 years, which sets out our beliefs in high-quality work, exceptional and creative client service, and our commitment to diversity, pro bono work and community service.
Holland & Knight is always striving to enhance our organization and culture where all of our people – including those traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession – have a path to long-term success. We are committed to supporting a variety of pipeline and recruiting initiatives. In 2023, we achieved "Mansfield Rule Certified" status from the Diversity Lab for the sixth consecutive year, which recognizes that at least 30 percent of our current leadership roles and committees are held by lawyers from traditionally underrepresented groups. Our affinity groups help open opportunities to shine. And while we don't run our firm in order to get awards, Holland & Knight consistently receives high rankings and accolades such as being listed as one of the "Best Law Firms for Women" by Seramount (2023), a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index for nine consecutive years (2023-2024), a ranking of top 50 overall in The American Lawyer's Diversity Scorecard (2022) as well as No. 1 for most Hispanic Partners and Top 5 for African American Partners, and Top 10 Firm in Law360's Diversity Snapshot for "Most Minority Equity Partners" (2021).
Summer Program. Our associates are engaged in all types of client matters and work closely with partners who provide guidance for professional development. Starting with summer assignments and continuing every year after, we work hard to ensure that associates grow personally and professionally to reach their full potential. In addition to daily feedback and interaction, we have a formal associate evaluation program, peer mentors, affinity mentors, and other programs to help guide careers.
Holland & Knight's summer associate program is structured to provide each student with exposure to a specific practice area. In addition, summer associates may work on matters that involve a range of practice areas and participate at conferences, negotiations, oral arguments, closings, depositions, hearings and trials. This experience provides a broad foundation to assist them in selecting a main area of focus for their practice.
The HK Institute serves as the firm's legal training office, providing training for Holland & Knight attorneys and clients, including continuing legal education approved by state accrediting agencies. The HK Institute also maintains a library of training programs.
