Client Conflicts Lead Healthcare Partner to Join Bracewell in a ‘Match Made in Heaven’

Bracewell’s Carrie Douglas discussed with Texas Lawyer her journey of joining the firm as a partner in San Antonio in the healthcare and life sciences practice. She detailed how a “significant amount of conflicts” led her to a “match made in heaven” at Bracewell.

Douglas, who represents hospital systems, ambulatory surgery centers and large physician practices in coverage and reimbursement disputes with health insurers and payors, said her clients will benefit from her move to Bracewell.

“I get access to some of the foremost minds in the healthcare legal side in Texas. It’s such a value add,” she said.

At Bracewell, Douglas will work with a group of healthcare lawyers with a similar practice who joined the firm in Dallas in August 2021, including practice chair Wilson Jones.

Bracewell represents leading non-profit health systems in Texas, along with the three largest for-profit hospital systems in the US.
