A clearer picture is emerging about the future plans of more than a dozen partners who have left Patton Boggs from offices in Washington, Dallas and Denver.

Holland & Knight is taking 23 Patton attorneys from the firm’s Dallas office, including 12 partners. Among them are Michelle Suárez, the former office managing partner, and James Chadwick, the former co-chairman of the business department. Chadwick will serve as the executive partner of Holland & Knight's new office in Dallas.
