Band 1

Jolie Havens focuses her practice on healthcare compliance and regulatory issues, and offers notable expertise in Medicaid and Medicare matters. She was also the first female chair of Vorys' healthcare practice.

Jolie will always make herself available to me or my team. She is highly intelligent and extremely knowledgeable about the healthcare regulator landscape, at state and federal level.

Jolie is very responsive and keeps us updated on where matters are in the process.

Jolie feels like an extension of our team rather than outside external counsel and I really appreciate that. Just giving us the feeling that she really cares and feels connected to our mission.

Jolie brought an impressive balance of sophistication and pragmaticism rarely observed in a role such as hers. She was equal parts strategist, educator, doer, and counselor - the whole package.
