Doug Holod Recognized As a Notable Partner in Law by Twin Cities Business for 2025
August 11, 2025
Maslon is pleased to announce that Doug Holod has been recognized among the 2025 Notable Partners in Law by Twin Cities Business magazine.
Doug is a partner, a former chair of Maslon’s Corporate & Securities Group, and a former managing partner of the firm. In his 35 years of practice, he has represented business leaders as they make important decisions about their companies. He got his start working with an entrepreneur who needed to raise capital for a restaurant concept that would include live birds. That became the Rainforest Café, and Doug went on to guide the company through its IPO and eventual sale.
Today, Doug’s clients operate in spaces diverse as 3D printing, healthcare technology, investment management, and restaurant/retail. As outside general counsel, he recently helped several clients restructure and recapitalize to avoid bankruptcy.
Doug has also served for decades in leadership positions with Meritas, a global alliance of mid-size, independent law firms founded by his mentor in 1990. A former board member and current member of the U.S. leadership committee, Doug helps other law firms and his fellow partners enhance their engagement with Meritas to better serve their clients.
