Holland & Knight LLP houses a team of ‘fantastic negotiators’, advising and representing EPC contractors on major infrastructure projects, while handling a range of high-profile contentious and non-contentious matters, including P3 projects and disputes. Operating from the firm’s Washington DC and New York offices, Stephen Shapiro co-leads the team alongside Orlando-based Ben Subin, handling the full range of federal government contract work and commercial litigation. The group’s capabilities in advising on large-scale real estate developments and heavy construction are further bolstered by Robert Bernstein, who spearheads the construction practice in New York. Other key contacts include Adam Paterno in New York and Monte Starr in Orlando, handling litigation mandates for contactors, subcontractors, and construction managers.
