HAMID NAMAZIE
Partner
Holland & Knight
Immediately after graduating from law school, Hamid Namazie embarked on his legal career by joining a firm to practice real estate litigation. His practice still focuses on providing counsel to lenders, now on multi-million dollar, sometimes even multi-billion dollar, syndicated and bilateral senior secured asset-based loans, cash flow loans, second-lien and subordinated loans. This includes acquisition financings, recapitalizations, refinancings and cross-border and multicurrency lending. He represents a wide range of clients, such as banks, institutional lenders and commercial finance companies and in various jurisdictions, including Canada and several countries in Europe and Asia.
Namazie’s career thrives on relationships, a crucial aspect of his practice given its tightly-knit community. He shares deep connections with his clients and the attorneys across the negotiation table. In 2023, he transitioned to Holland & Knight, having previously served as the managing partner of a major national firm’s LA office.
