As an Associate at Holland & Knight LLP, I advise healthcare clients on federal and state compliance in connection with transactional, corporate, and regulatory matters. I have over 5 years of experience in this role, during which I have analyzed and reported on the impact of new legal requirements on client operations, particularly in relation to COVID-19 emergency orders and legislation. I also have a strong background in antitrust law, having worked as an Antitrust Associate at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner for over 2.5 years. There, I represented clients in mergers and acquisitions and defended a major pharmaceutical company in several federal and state class action lawsuits.
