Hiring Criteria

Holland & Knight hires only those attorneys who have the ability to excel as lawyers and a strong commitment to serve the firm's clients and communities. A solid academic background at both the undergraduate and graduate levels as well as excellent extra-curriculars, especially law review or journal experience, is what catches the recruiter's eye at this firm. And, if you have been a federal clerk, that is a big plus for you.

Here are some of the skills that Holland & Knight looks for in prospective hires:

Keen eye to details
Outstanding legal writing skills
Proven problem-solving skills
Motivation to succeed
Strong commercial sense

Pro bono

With a long-standing tradition of community service, Holland & Knight has continued to strengthen its commitment to pro bono services year after year for more than four decades now. The firm's attorneys strongly believe that they have a professional duty to provide free legal services to underprivileged people and charitable and not-for-profit organizations.

Today, the firm's Public and Charitable Service Department is responsible for maintaining the firm's sense of community purpose and leads the firm's global community service, pro bono, and charitable giving initiatives across various sectors of the community.

Further, Holland & Knight's outreach efforts vary depending on the office locations but have the common goal of improving the communities in which its attorneys live and work. The firm expects its attorneys to contribute about 3% of their billable hours to pro bono work annually.
