The pro-business litigation practice at Holland & Knight combines ‘deep legal knowledge with a clear understanding of its clients’ business environment’. Closely aligned with its dominant energy and environmental law offerings, the team notably packs a punch in complex administrative law disputes concerning the energy and natural resources areas. Among its other practice sweet spots, the full-service group also attracts a significant volume of consumer law cases and class actions. José Gutiérrez Mestre spearheads the department and specialises in dispute resolution, private law, and corporate and M&A; he recently handled a string of consumer law cases, among other matters. Energy and environmental law expert Jose Vicente Zapata and public law partner Juan Casallas are also key litigators. The area further benefits from a duo of capable senior counsels in Lorena Martínez and Estefanny Pardo.
