Dallas firm Taber Estes Thorne & Carr has changed its name to Estes Okon Thorne & Carr after promoting Melanie Okon to name partner.

Former name partner Jane Taber is stepping back from managing the firm to focus on new opportunities for the firm in the healthcare industry, particularly in connection with the Affordable Care Act and its regulatory deadlines.
