About

I represent individual clients with claims for all types of employee benefits and assist employees with transitions in and out of jobs. I have experience with many kinds of claims for benefits, including disability, pension, life and accident, and stock option claims. I assist employees – from executives to hourly workers – with review, analysis, and negotiation of employment contracts and severance agreements for people starting a new job or leaving an old one (voluntarily or involuntarily). My work also includes advising people on strategy and legal rights through transitions to disability leave or retirement. I have also served as counsel in class and multi-plaintiff actions in the employee benefits, wage and hour, and civil rights fields, including several actions challenging the fairness of prices charged to Employee Stock Ownership Plans for employer stock, representing union pension and welfare funds against investment managers and consultants for investment in Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme, and civil rights and wage and hour class actions. I frequently write and speak on a wide range of issues in employee benefits law, from the changing legal landscape for employee benefits for same-sex couples to the scope of ERISA preemption of state law.
