Elizabeth Tucker joins the firm’s health care regulatory practice, bringing extensive experience in operational compliance and post-acute care. Her background includes navigating complex administrative appeals and state-level enforcement matters. Brett Travers moves to the firm with a dual focus on commercial real estate and corporate strategy, drawing on his former tenure as general counsel for a developer that expanded from eight to 52 senior living locations.

St. Louis office managing partner John Bowen described the hires as a deliberate effort to blend local expertise with national capabilities. As health systems face mounting pressure from consolidation and shifting reimbursement models, the firm is positioning itself to handle the intersection of regulatory oversight and transactional needs. Both Tucker and Travers are graduates of Saint Louis University School of Law, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to regional talent as it scales its operations across the Midwest.
