Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

‘The team takes a wholistic approach to problem solving, which is important because it helps my team avoid risk/problems we may not have considered otherwise. They apply their historical knowledge used from their experience working with our team and other client's to problem solve. The firm has a great database library to help house numerous plan and other ERISA related documents--very convenient when I need to reference documents.’
‘I appreciate their partnership in that they operate as though they are part of our team, and not just outside counsel who jump in and out to solve one off issues.’
‘Responsiveness and thoroughness.’
