In a strategic move to bolster its financial services practice, Holland & Knight has appointed Evan Kelson as a partner in its New York office. The firm made the announcement earlier this week, emphasizing Kelson’s expertise in a range of complex financial transactions. His areas of specialization include the financing of trade receivables, securitizations, energy receivables, equipment leases and loans, as well as credit card and telecom receivables. He also has significant experience in handling consumer and small business loans, including transactions involving esoteric assets.
