K&L Gates has added Keller and Heckman partner Natalie Rainer in San Francisco as the firm looks to broaden its Food and Drug Administration and health care regulatory practice for food and beverage clients.

“Natalie is well-positioned to serve the dynamic food industry in the Bay Area, particularly in the alternative protein and cell-based meat space,” Matt Mangan, managing partner of K&L Gates’ San Francisco office, said in a statement.
