Patricia Dillman, former director of Holland & Knight's litigation support group, has sued the firm for tortious interference. The suit stems from Dillman's decision to go to Hughes Hubbard & Reed, which told her after she gave notice that there was no longer a job offer, due to a possible conflict raised by Holland. "I've never seen anything like this," says Dillman's attorney. "The bar has an ethical concern with lawyers being stopped from moving from one firm to another ... But Dillman was a paralegal."

It’s not unusual for a firm to use tough tactics when litigating a case. But tough tactics cost Patricia Dillman her job.
After working under three bosses in less than a year, Dillman, the director of Holland & Knight‘s litigation support group, decided to look for a fresh start. She settled on not only a different firm, Hughes Hubbard & Reed, but also a new city. Dillman accepted a $200,000 annual salary to move from Washington to Hughes Hubbard’s New York office.
