Expert guidance on a complex ESOP transaction

Matthew Secrist at Taft provided excellent counsel for our company's ESOP implementation. His dual recognition in ERISA and Tax Law was immediately evident; he navigated the intricate compliance and tax implications with clear, practical advice. For a relatively junior partner, his depth of knowledge was impressive. He was thorough and patient in explaining the process. The only slight delay came during final document review, as his schedule seemed quite full, which is understandable given his expertise. Overall, I felt confident in his handling of a matter that was critical to our business's future. I would recommend him for sophisticated employee benefits planning.
