Pepper Hamilton is poised to welcome five health care lawyers from Norton Rose Fulbright, bulking up its year-old Los Angeles office.

Partner Mark Kadzielski, who leads the health law practice for Norton Rose in L.A., will join Pepper Hamilton on July 1, said Gary Apfel, partner in charge of Pepper Hamilton's L.A. office. Four other health care lawyers from Norton Rose were due to start at Pepper Hamilton's L.A. office this week. Tambry Bradford joins Pepper Hamilton as special counsel, and Dayna Nicholson, Kristina Ayers and Jee-Young Kim come on board as associates. Norton Rose has no other health care lawyers in L.A., according to its website.
