Holland & Knight LLP has expanded its real estate practice in Los Angeles with the addition of Daniel Katz as a partner in its Century City office. Katz, who previously practiced at Buchalter PC, brings extensive experience in commercial real estate transactions across various asset classes and geographies. His clientele includes real estate funds, institutional and non-institutional investors, developers, operators, and financial institutions. His practice focuses on lender-side work, representing banks, debt funds, and other institutional lenders in mortgage and mezzanine financing, warehouse facilities, and loan portfolio transactions.
This strategic hire aligns with Holland & Knight’s ongoing efforts to bolster its real estate capabilities on the West Coast. In June 2022, the firm integrated the attorneys of Pircher, Nichols & Meeks LLP, a prominent Los Angeles-based real estate law firm, into its ranks, establishing a new Century City office. This move significantly enhanced the firm’s capacity to handle complex real estate transactions and provided additional resources to its real estate clients.
Holland & Knight’s real estate practice has received recognition for its excellence. The Legal 500 United States 2026 guide awarded the firm a Tier 1 ranking in the Real Estate: Land Use/Zoning category, highlighting its proficiency in navigating complex real estate matters.
In addition to expanding its real estate team, Holland & Knight has been actively growing its presence in other practice areas and locations. For instance, in June 2026, the firm appointed a real estate and business attorney who played a key role in launching its Seattle office to serve as the executive partner of its Portland, Oregon, office. This appointment underscores the firm’s commitment to strengthening its leadership and capabilities in the Pacific Northwest.
These strategic moves reflect Holland & Knight’s dedication to enhancing its service offerings and geographic reach, positioning the firm to better serve its clients’ evolving needs in the dynamic real estate sector.
