Expert guidance on our company's 401(k) plan restructuring

Our company engaged Alexandra Ifrah to navigate a complex 401(k) plan restructuring. Her deep knowledge of ERISA law, honed over 35 years, was immediately evident. She anticipated regulatory hurdles we hadn't considered and her strategic advice was invaluable. It's clear why she's repeatedly recognized as Lawyer of the Year. The process was thorough, though communication turnaround times could occasionally be quicker. Overall, we felt in exceptionally capable hands and achieved a solid outcome for our employees.
