Holland & Knight has bolstered its public policy and regulation group with the addition of Jeff Porter as a partner, the firm announced recently. An environmental lawyer, Porter joins the firm’s Boston office, bringing his expertise from his previous role at Mintz.
Porter is a notable figure in Massachusetts public service, having served on the transition committees for Governor Maura Healey, Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, and Attorney General Andrea Campbell. His involvement with state leadership teams underscores his qualifications for navigating the intersection of law, policy, and environment—a key area for Holland & Knight’s clients.
Holland & Knight’s recruitment of Porter aligns with its strategy to enhance its capabilities in public policy, particularly in environmental regulation—a field that has seen increasing regulatory attention and complexity. Given Porter’s experience and background, he is expected to play a pivotal role in advising clients on evolving environmental policies and their implications for business operations.
