Our company faced a daunting and complex fiduciary liability claim related to our 401(k) plan administration. The situation was fraught with legal nuance and significant financial exposure. From our first consultation, Adam Gartner demonstrated a command of ERISA law that was immediately reassuring. He meticulously deconstructed the claimant's arguments, identifying weaknesses we had completely overlooked. His strategy was not just reactive but proactive, guiding us through a process that protected our interests while seeking a reasonable resolution. Adam’s recognition in the field of Employee Benefits Law is clearly well-deserved; his advice was both strategically sharp and practically grounded in the realities of plan governance. The matter was resolved favorably without the need for protracted litigation, saving us immense cost and distraction. Throughout, his communication was clear, direct, and timely. Adam and the team at McDermott Will & Schulte provided exactly the sophisticated, New York-caliber counsel we needed. I would not hesitate to engage him for any future benefits-related legal challenges.
