Holland & Knight has named Woody Vaughan as the new leader for its Atlanta office, succeeding Allen Maines, who held the role for six years.

The Am Law 50 firm’s Atlanta office grew to 50 lawyers under Maines’ leadership. Vaughn said in an interview that he wants to build on that. “Holland & Knight has been under the radar and a secret in Atlanta—and we don’t think we need to be a secret anymore,” he said.
