“Jerry brings a tremendous wealth of knowledge in complex transactional deals, as well as an understanding of how to navigate the intricate regulatory frameworks both in Massachusetts and across the country that are increasingly affecting health care companies and those doing business with them,” said Manatt Health Leader Bill Bernstein. “A collaborative and accomplished attorney, Jerry will be a perfect fit to our health care transactions and regulatory practice led by Partner Paul Carr-Rollitt, as well as our national team as we work with our clients at the forefront of innovation.”

“I’m thrilled to join the Firm and work with its outstanding legal and consulting professionals, many of whom I have had the pleasure of knowing for a long time, as we collectively support our clients’ efforts to navigate and capitalize on the many opportunities that exist in today’s health care ecosystem,” Tichner said. “Manatt’s model of bringing together legal, business, policy and consulting acumen for the benefit of its clients is incredibly rare and provides an ideal environment to achieve success for our clients.”
