Expert and pragmatic guidance on a complex ERISA matter

Our company engaged Beth Langley at Brooks, Pierce after a former executive filed a claim challenging the denial of his supplemental retirement benefits under our ERISA plan. The situation was highly technical and emotionally charged. From our first meeting, Beth's deep knowledge of both ERISA and employment law was evident. She didn't just recite statutes; she explained the strategic landscape, outlining how the courts in North Carolina have historically ruled on similar fiduciary duty issues. Her recognition in these practice areas is clearly well-earned. Beth crafted a defense that was both legally sound and pragmatic, ultimately leading to a favorable settlement without the need for protracted, public litigation. She was always prepared and her advice was consistently practical. The one area where we occasionally felt a slight delay was in email response times during particularly busy periods, though her team was always responsive for urgent matters. Overall, Beth provided exactly the kind of seasoned, strategic counsel you hope for from a firm with her reputation. We have great confidence in her and her firm's capabilities.
