Savannah attorney Ruth Young has been a fixture in federal court for more than 20 years. Whether as a then-law clerk for U.S. District Judge B. Avant Edenfield or an assistant U.S. attorney in the civil division, her keen legal mind and quiet competence have been a positive presence at Wright Square or in federal courtrooms throughout the Southern District of Georgia.
Now she is returning to her legal roots and re-joining the HunterMaclean law firm where she worked from 1984-1989, this time as a member of the firm’s Health Care Practice Group at Memorial University Medical Center.
There she will be an in-house counsel with other firm team members, lending her expertise to dealing with issues facing the medical care provider in an ever changing healthcare world.
“Ruth is a well-respected attorney who brings a unique perspective to health care law, thanks to her extensive experience,” said attorney T. Mills Fleming, leader of the HunterMaclean team.
Young said she is delighted to be returning to the HunterMaclean firm.
“I look forward to joining an exceptional team and helping clients successfully negotiate the healthcare and government-regulated issues,” she said.
