Holland & Knight welcomes D. Ty Jackson, a well-known regulatory and administrative law attorney, as a partner in the firm's Tallahassee, Florida, office. Most recently, Mr. Jackson served as deputy managing shareholder of GrayRobinson's Tallahassee office.
Mr. Jackson provides integrated legal and regulatory strategies for clients facing professional licensing, regulatory compliance and administrative law challenges. He works with entities and individuals to overcome licensing hurdles, defend against disciplinary complaints and guide the procurement process. A seasoned litigator known for his regulatory experience, he counsels a wide array of clients operating in the healthcare, construction and financial services sectors, among others.
Mr. Jackson also helps clients understand the legal implications of legislative issues affecting business operations and advocates for changes that remove barriers to growth. His experience includes litigation and advocacy before virtually every state agency, regulatory board and commission, at administrative hearings, in state and federal courts, and before Florida's legislative and executive branches of government.
"Ty's reputation is outstanding locally, and his arrival immediately gives us a more sizable platform to expand our public policy and regulation practice in Florida to meet our clients' growing needs," said Karen Walker, who leads Holland & Knight's Government Section. "Additionally, Ty's substantial procurement and bid protest experience will help Holland & Knight grow its state and local procurement practice on a national level."
"I am excited to join Holland & Knight and begin leveraging the firm's expansive network to serve more of my clients' needs," said Mr. Jackson. "I've had the pleasure of working alongside Holland & Knight lawyers on significant bid protest litigation and look forward to offering more than 15 years' worth of knowledge, experience and professional connections to assist in the firm's future client engagements."
Mr. Jackson earned a J.D. degree from Florida State University College of Law and a B.S.B.A. degree from the University of Florida. He is Board Certified by The Florida Bar in State and Federal Government and Administrative Practice.
