Holland & Knight LLP issued the following announcement on Mar. 8.
Healthcare attorney Jennifer Rangel has joined Holland & Knight's Austin, Texas, office as a partner. She focuses on regulatory, transactional and administrative health law for healthcare providers, healthcare industry companies, payors, health plans and managed care organizations. Ms. Rangel was formerly a partner with Locke Lord.
Ms. Rangel joins nearly a year after Holland & Knight announced the expansion of its national healthcare practice into Texas with the hiring of litigators Eliot Burris in Dallas and Samuel Louis and Justo Mendez in Houston.
"We are thrilled to have someone of Jennifer's caliber helping to build our healthcare capabilities in Texas," said Jeffrey Mittleman, co-leader of the firm's Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry Group. "Strategically, Jennifer's experience and local knowledge mirrors the type of healthcare work that Holland & Knight does in states such as Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. She is incredibly accomplished and will be a great ambassador of the firm's brand in Texas."
