"Her strong work ethic and clear leadership strengths will make her a great asset to our firm."
Ms. Kilgore will work alongside Newport Beach-based litigation Partner Anne Redcross Beehler, who joined Holland & Knight in November.

She also regularly advises business entities on matters of employment law, including sexual harassment, discrimination and wrongful termination. Her clients include public companies, private businesses, executives and celebrities.
"Holland & Knight's platform allows me the opportunity to better serve my current clients and grow my practice," said Ms. Kilgore. "I'm excited to join this group of nationally recognized litigation attorneys."
