Foley & Lardner LLP announced today that Heather Miles has joined the firm’s New York office as a partner in its Transactions Practice Group. Miles’ arrival enhances the firm’s capabilities across the Innovative Technology, Manufacturing, and Health Care & Life Sciences Sectors and supports the continued growth of Foley’s national corporate platform.
Miles, who joins Foley from Goodwin Procter, advises both companies and investors on the legal and strategic issues that shape high-growth businesses. Her practice spans technology and innovation-driven industries, including manufacturing, industrials, health care, energy, and infrastructure.
“The continued expansion of our corporate practice in New York is a key priority for the firm and a central component of our broader growth strategy,” said Daljit Doogal, Foley chairman and CEO. “Heather’s arrival reflects the targeted investments we are making to build depth in key markets and sectors where client demand continues to grow.
