Holland & Knight, which is no stranger of late to making group hires that include partners with leadership credentials, has done it again, this time bringing on the former head of an Am Law 100 firm.

David Spector, who lasted as chairman of Akerman for only seven months before the firm’s former chairman, Andrew Smulian, retook the reins, has left the firm to join Holland & Knight. Joining him is commercial litigator Adam Hodges, fraud and recovery practice co-chair Sandy Heller, and nine other Akerman attorneys.
