Nicole A. Eichberger

Exceptional ERISA Litigation Guidance During a Complex Dispute

Our company faced a daunting and high-stakes ERISA fiduciary breach claim from a former executive. The complexity of the benefits plan and the potential liability were significant concerns. We engaged Nicole Eichberger based on her strong reputation in the New Orleans legal community and her specific recognition in ERISA litigation. From our first consultation, her command of the intricate details of ERISA law was evident. She didn't just react to the claim; she proactively developed a comprehensive strategy that addressed both the legal merits and the practical business implications. Her analysis was sharp, and her guidance through the discovery process was invaluable. While her billing rates reflect her expertise at a top-tier firm like Proskauer Rose, and there were occasional delays in receiving draft documents due to her demanding caseload, the overall value was clear. Nicole's nine years of focused experience in this niche area truly showed. She successfully negotiated a settlement that protected our company far better than we had anticipated, avoiding a costly trial. Her recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' is well-deserved, and I would confidently recommend her for any complex labor or benefits-related litigation.
