James Ward
Our company, based in Milwaukee, faced a challenging employee benefits compliance issue involving our operations in Puerto Rico. We were referred to René J. Avilés-García at Ferraiuoli, and it was an excellent recommendation. His deep, 11-year expertise in Employee Benefits and Tax Law, specifically with the nuances of Puerto Rican jurisdiction, was immediately apparent. He expertly navigated the intersection of local regulations and our mainland U.S. policies. His recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in this field was well-earned; his analysis was thorough, and his strategic advice was pragmatic, saving us from significant potential penalties. He translated complex legal concepts into clear business impacts for our leadership team. The one area where we experienced slight delays was in receiving draft documents; sometimes there was a 2-3 day wait beyond initial estimates, which, while understandable given his evident caseload, required some follow-up on our end. Overall, René provided exceptional value. His command of Trusts and Estates law also proved beneficial as our discussions evolved. For any business dealing with multi-jurisdictional employee benefits or tax matters involving Puerto Rico, he is a formidable and highly knowledgeable asset.
