After graduating from Valparaiso University Law School at age 18, Peter O. Knight moved to Fort Myers, Florida, and was elected mayor in 1886 shortly before his 21st birthday. Following service in the Florida Legislature, the young attorney settled in Tampa in 1889, five years after the city was chartered, to start a law practice. In addition to his work as an attorney, Mr. Knight founded the area's present electric utility and a major bank.When Mr. Knight resigned from the last political office he held, Hillsborough County State Attorney, in 1902, he announced that he would never again seek public office. He preferred, he said, "to do what I can as a private citizen." Holding to his word, Mr. Knight declined President Warren G. Harding's invitation to become a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. When Mr. Knight died in 1946, U.S. Senator Spessard L. Holland was a pallbearer at his funeral - 22 years before the names of Holland and Knight would be linked in Florida's largest law firm. Tradition of Service
The heritage of business and civic leadership begun by the founders of Holland & Knight has provided the basis for continued service by past and present partners in the firm. A shining example of service to the legal profession was Chesterfield Smith, who served as the architect of the present day Holland & Knight law firm. As managing partner of the firm from its founding to 1983, Mr. Smith built a national platform for the delivery of comprehensive legal services.
He was president of The Florida Bar in 1964-65, and became one of the leaders of the nation's legal profession as president of the American Bar Association (ABA) in 1973-74. Mr. Smith served also as chairman of the Florida Constitutional Revision Commission. During his 55-year professional career, Chesterfield Smith was a major force in American law and politics. He is best known as the outspoken president of the ABA who made the first public call to investigate President Richard M. Nixon during the Watergate scandal.
Mr. Smith's influence in shaping Holland & Knight is legendary. He strongly believed it was possible to build a national firm with a presence in major U.S. markets, yet with the innovative premise that the local offices would not operate as individual profit centers and would be able to match the lawyer with the best skills for a particular client need, regardless of geography. Often called "America's Lawyer" and "the conscience of the legal profession," Chesterfield Smith is responsible for the shared values and core beliefs that continue to earn Holland & Knight recognition as a law firm that balances profits with public duty.
Building on a Firm Foundation
Partners of the firm include former state and local bar presidents and presidents of the American Bar Association and the National Conference of Bar Presidents. Other partners have devoted themselves to public and professional positions. Our ranks include chairs of the National Conference of Bar Examiners, federal and state trial and appellate judges, chairs of several sections of the American Bar Association, a former governor, members of the U.S. House and Senate, and a former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.Many of the firm's lawyers continue to serve their communities in leadership roles in civic, charitable and social organizations. The service and values the firm was built upon years ago remain the same today. Each day in every practice, in every office, and by every lawyer and professional at Holland & Knight, our commitment to superior client service and to our profession and communities is validated.
