For over 20 years, as an Employee Benefits Attorney, I have worked with a full scope of legal issues for Employee Benefit Plans, including plan development, administration, compliance, termination and litigation of employer sponsored plans. My combined experience as former in-house counsel and as an attorney in private practice give me a keen understanding of how to achieve straightforward, cost-effective solutions to complex legal employee benefit and executive compensation issues. Clients appreciate my practical, results-oriented approach in helping create and manage plans and to solve the problems they face. When disputes do arise, I am the seasoned resolution strategist who expertly negotiates and litigates, when necessary, to achieve optimal outcomes for my clients. Working with employers of all sizes across diverse industry sectors, including publicly traded, tax-exempt and government entities, my clients are HR Professionals, business managers, trustees, custodians, third party administrators, plan sponsors, investment advisors and record keepers. I have direct experience with a wide range of plan types and provide plan services to fiduciaries, plan sponsors, as well as ERISA services for Financial Institutions and Investment Advisors, among others. More information on the types of Plans and Plan services I provide may be found on my Quarles & Brady bio link below.Outside the office, family life is my priority and a great source of fulfillment as my wife and I are blessed to parent biological and foster children. Finally, those who know me well know my allegiance to the Fighting Irish is unwavering and true.
