TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (June 16, 2025) – Kathryn "Katie" Inman, who served as general counsel for the Florida Office of the Attorney General since 2022, has joined Holland & Knight's Tallahassee office as a member of the Public Policy & Regulation Group. Ms. Inman focuses her practice on federal transportation law and regulatory compliance, as well as Florida-specific administrative law and land use matters.
Ms. Inman's legal career spans more than two decades and includes serving in legal and regulatory roles at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) where she ultimately advanced to the position of special assistant to the chief counsel and as assistant general counsel for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). As general counsel to Florida's Attorney General Ashley Moody, she helped oversee the implementation of major legislative initiatives in Florida, such as data privacy, social media use for minors and healthcare choice reforms.
During her time in federal government, she earned numerous awards for leadership and successfully implementing reforms, including the FAA Administrator's Award, Secretary of Transportation's Gold Medal Award and NTSB Distinguished Employee Service Award, among others.
"Katie brings a highly valuable blend of federal regulatory and Florida administrative law experience to our team," said Karen Walker, who leads Holland & Knight's Government Section. "She is a recognized leader who can support our world-class transportation practices nationally but also offer our clients critical insight on administrative law matters in Florida."
Anita Mosner, co-chair of the firm's Transportation and Infrastructure Industry Sector Group, notes that, "With deep experience in aviation and other modes of transportation, Katie will be a utility player who understands how important aviation and transportation policies are shaped and implemented."
"We're excited to welcome Katie to our team, especially because of her wealth of experience in emerging aviation regulatory and policy issues that are transforming the aviation industry. Drones and advanced air mobility are areas of focus for Holland & Knight, and Katie's deep knowledge will help us to continue to grow our capabilities in this dynamic sector," said Joel Roberson, who leads Holland & Knight's Drone and Autonomous Transportation Teams.
"I'm thrilled to join a firm that is doing such important work at both the federal and state level," said Ms. Inman. "I hope to use the knowledge I gained working in Washington, D.C., and Florida to advise clients working in the transportation industry and beyond. My ability to understand technical, complex problems and create plans for compliance will benefit clients across a wide range of industries."
Ms. Inman earned a J.D. degree from The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law and a B.A. degree from James Madison University. She is admitted to practice law in both Florida and Texas and holds a Remote Pilot in Command Certificate from the FAA.
