CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, announced today that Fatema F. Zanzi joined the firm as a partner in the Chicago office, continuing Manatt’s expansion of its national healthcare practice.

“We are excited to welcome Fatema to Manatt Health,” said William Bernstein, chair of Manatt Health. “Her consulting background and superb legal experience will provide our clients with the insights they need to navigate the healthcare industry’s complex legal landscape. As M&A activity in the industry continues at a record-breaking pace, we are expanding our Manatt Health team and strengthening the capabilities our clients need in the face of increasing consolidation and regulatory changes.”
