Lawyers getting a reset with new office

After 27 years with the same law firm, it can be time to reset one's career.

That's precisely what William “Bill” Hamilton is doing, having left the comfort zone of Tampa legal powerhouse Holland & Knight to help start the newest office of Quarles & Brady.

Hamilton is one of six partners starting the Milwaukee-based firm's Tampa office on the 34th floor of the Bank of America Plaza building. The temporary offices are divided between two other floors as build-out work continues on the firm's permanent space, where three associates will also work.
