Epstein Becker Green, known for its robust legal practices, recently welcomed Raja Sékaran, John Puente, and Melissa Borrelli to its health care and life sciences practice based in San Francisco. The arrival of these heavyweights signals the continuation of the law firm’s strategic growth on the West Coast. Bloomberg Law Automation reported this development on April 4, 2024.
Sékaran, who had a tenure as Senior Counsel in the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), brings a wealth of experience. He has represented a diverse range of clients including health care delivery systems, medical groups, independent practice associations, health plans, hospitals, private equity investors, and California’s private insurance exchange for small-group employers.
Puente and Borrelli also boast extensive experience in the field. Puente worked as Deputy Director and Chief Counsel of the California Department of Health Care Services, General Counsel for the Medical Board of California, and Deputy Director at another health-related agency.
The addition of these new members to Epstein Becker Green aligns with the growth strategy of the firm. By attracting professionals with a rich and diversified experience, the firm is positioning itself as an enhanced resource for clients, especially in the complex and rapidly evolving world of health care law.
This development was officially announced by the law firm on Wednesday.
