Prior to their affiliation with Holland & Knight, partners Pannone and Devereaux worked together at McGovern Noel & Benik. Together, the founding partners of PLD have more than 80 years of combined practice in this region.
“We’re looking forward to stepping off the ocean liner to a 24-foot skiff, which will be much easier to navigate. Smaller means more flexible, more nimble, more personal,” said Pannone in a statement.
PLD will continue to be located at the former H&K offices at One Financial Plaza, Suite 1800.
