The law firm Holland & Knight is adding a former Doral city attorney to its real estate practice in its Miami office, a press release says. Luis Figueredo, a Harvard Law School graduate who joined the city of Doral’s legal staff in 2018, is joining the firm, shortly after it hired former Coral Gables city attorney Miriam Soler Ramos.
