Heredia is a litigation attorney in Holland & Knight's Chicago office, where he focuses his practice on legal ethics and risk management for lawyers, law firms and in-house counsel, and commercial litigation matters. As a member of the firm's Legal Profession Team, Mr. Heredia advises and represents attorneys, law firms and corporate legal departments in all aspects of professional responsibility matters, including law firm organization and dissolution, conflicts of interest, lawyer mobility, legal advertising, unauthorized practice of law, confidentiality and evidentiary privileges, and regulatory compliance.

Prior to joining Holland & Knight, Mr. Heredia served as litigation counsel for the Illinois ARDC, where he investigated hundreds of charges of attorney misconduct and litigated formal proceedings before the Commission's Hearing Board and Illinois Supreme Court.
