Today, healthcare attorneys Kathlynn Butler Polvino (Founding Partner), Laurice Rutledge Lambert (Founding Partner), Jennifer P. Whitton (Partner) and Roxanna D. Tatman (Special Counsel) announced the official launch of their new, female-founded law firm, Health Law Strategists LLC (HLS). HLS is a boutique firm that intersects complex healthcare law with innovative strategy. The HLS team brings together more than 75 years of collective healthcare law experience to empower healthcare providers, healthcare entrepreneurs, digital health companies, their leaders, and investors to navigate the challenging and dynamic healthcare regulatory landscape.

HLS Founding Partners Kathy Butler Polvino and Laurice Rutledge Lambert are building a firm that will focus solely on the healthcare industry, prioritizing innovation through The People Centered-PracticeTM. HLS is built on a foundation of committed service and client trust as the foundation for long-term success.

“HLS is built to be different – our People-Centered Practice values teamwork over individualism to efficiently and effectively meet the specific needs of our clients and help them get to yes,” said Laurice Rutledge Lambert, Founding Partner of Health Law Strategists. “Our aim is to shift the legal services industry towards a more sustainable, team-focused model that drives value and outcomes for our clients and empowers the next generation of attorneys to practice differently.”

“We founded this firm because the healthcare industry is at an inflection point, and its leaders and innovators need sophisticated, strategic legal thought partners with broad and proven experience who understand their business and are dedicated to this industry” said Kathy Butler Polvino, Founding Partner of Health Law Strategists. “

After practicing healthcare law for almost 30 years,

I have seen the tremendous advantages of merging the expertise of healthcare attorneys and

business advisors, and the ability to offer bespoke services to a wider range of healthcare clients.”

Health Law Strategists Partner, Jennifer Whitton, joined the firm today after a decade practicing with an AmLaw 100 firm, with much of that time spent practicing with Ms. Polvino and Ms. Lambert, and subsequently serving as the Healthcare Practice Leader for an Atlanta-based boutique firm. Through her experiences, she saw a need for a firm where the partners are aligned on mission, vision for the future, and client service.

“It is truly an honor to be able to rejoin Kathy and Laurice to build a firm that prioritizes practicing law collaboratively and innovatively to meet our clients business needs and to move the healthcare legal industry forward,” said Jennifer. “Our goal is to be viewed as an extension of our clients rather than a cost center.”

While today marks the official launch of the firm, Health Law Strategists has already begun working with clients, hiring staff, and developing new business opportunities.
