Holland & Knight has expanded its corporate transaction practice with the hire of Paul Aguggia, the former CEO of Clifton Bancorp who was also previously chairman of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton.
Aguggia has more than 25 years of experience representing financial institutions on corporate transactions and regulatory issues, as well as on corporate governance, strategic planning, investor relations, securities reporting and compliance, risk management, and executive and board compensation matters, Holland & Knight said. He will be a partner based in New York.
Aguggia is also a veteran of high-stakes mergers in both the law firm and banking contexts. In May 2008, he was one of the name partners of Washington-based legal boutique Muldoon Murphy & Aguggia when Atlanta-based Kilpatrick Stockton acquired the firm, adding a team of 22 lawyers to the 500 the larger firm had. Aguggia reportedly took a hard line in the merger discussions, opposing any staff cuts, insisting that Kilpatrick would have to take on all of his lawyers as a condition of the deal.
