Since 2021, A&O has welcomed Elizabeth Holland, Bill James, John Bennett, Nick Mitrokostas, Daniel Margolis and Sapna W. Palla to its U.S. Intellectual Property Litigation practice based in New York, Boston and Washington D.C., all of whom are leaders in the life sciences industry. Nicole’s addition to the team builds on the firm’s efforts to establish a multidisciplinary life sciences offering across the U.S., and to expand its global positioning in the market.

Nicole is the 44th U.S. lateral partner hire for A&O since January 2021. She joins the firm ahead of its upcoming merger with Shearman & Sterling. In October 2023, A&O and Shearman & Sterling partnerships voted overwhelmingly in support of merging to create the first fully integrated global elite law firm, Allen Overy Shearman Sterling (A&O Shearman). The combined firm will have nearly 4,000 lawyers, 49 offices and tally annual revenues of approximately more than $3.4 billion.

Nicole joins from Goodwin Procter LLP, where she was a partner in the firm’s life sciences group. A graduate of Boston College Law School, Nicole is a member of the Boston Bar Association and the Navajo Nation Bar Association. Her pro bono work has earned her the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly 2023 Excellence in the Law Award, and she serves on the National Women’s Law Center’s Leadership Advisory Committee.
