Squire, Sanders & Dempsey has tapped veteran death penalty litigator George Kendall, formerly of Holland & Knight, to head a new program combining pro bono litigation, public policy reform and public education. “This initiative represents a significant expansion of our pro bono activities that reflects Squire Sanders’ continuing commitment to that important area and also brings exceptional talent to our federal appellate practice and the firm’s growing New York office,” said firm chairman R. Thomas Stanton.
Mr. Kendall, known nationally for his work on behalf of death row inmates, was senior counsel at Holland & Knight and a member of its community services team. He brings with him three associates who will work on the new initiative: Samuel Spital, Corrine Irish and Carine Williams.
