Expert ERISA guidance for a complex plan termination

Our company engaged Roberta Watson at The Wagner Law Group to navigate the termination of a legacy pension plan. With 40 years in practice, her deep knowledge of ERISA law was immediately apparent. She anticipated regulatory hurdles we hadn't considered and structured the process flawlessly. Her recognition as Tampa's Lawyer of the Year in Employee Benefits Law on multiple occasions is clearly well-earned. While her expertise is top-tier, communication response times could occasionally be quicker during non-critical phases. That said, her strategic advice from start to finish was invaluable. We felt confident having a Harvard Law graduate with her specific Tampa-based experience handling such a sensitive matter. The outcome was exactly what we needed.
