Attorney Taralynn R. Mackay, RN, JD, is a founding partner in the law firm of McDonald, Mackay, Porter & Weitz, L.L.P
Ms. Mackay’s practice focus since 1997 has been administrative/regulatory law, health care law, and professional license defense with an emphasis on representing nurses before the Texas Board of Nursing (formally known as the Texas Board of Nurse Examiners). Ms. Mackay is Board Certified in Administrative Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specializations and has practiced Administrative Law since 1994.
Prior to starting a private practice Ms. Mackay worked as an Assistant General Counsel and Staff Attorney for the Texas Medical Board and the Texas State Board of Physician Assistant Examiners. After gaining invaluable insight into the functioning of regulatory boards in areas such as litigation, hearings, mediation and negotiation, Ms. Mackay became a partner in the law firm of McDonald, Mackay, Porter & Weitz, LLP and shifted to representing licensed professionals in disciplinary proceedings before their respective licensing boards and administrative agencies.
Ms. Mackay received her BSN with Honors from the University of Texas Medical Branch and practiced nursing in the following areas: ICU, CCU, Transplant ICU, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Ms. Mackay then received her Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Texas School of Law. She is a frequent national speaker and writes extensively on various health care topics, including risk management assessment and training, regulatory issues, nursing and medical law. Her entertaining and engaging speaking style make her a much sought after speaker.
