Employee Benefits (ERISA) Law
I use Trucker Huss for legal representation on the 401k and pension plans. I never want to have any issues or problems with a retirement plan, and they ensure that I stay compliant.
Employee Benefits (ERISA) Law

Employee Benefits (ERISA) Law
The lawyers at Trucker Huss are the gold standard for employee benefits/ERISA. The bench is stacked with attorneys who are subject matter experts, not in benefits as a whole, but in each specific area within benefits. This detailed expertise allows them to go very deep into the particularities of retirement plans, welfare plans, executive comp and benefits litigation. This in-depth experience is invaluable for an in-house lawyer, like myself, who works at a fast-paced tech company as the sole comp and benefits lawyer. On top of that knowledge, the Trucker Huss attorneys are able to provide practical guidance for the real-world issues I encounter. Things move fast at my company, and I can always count on my Trucker Huss team to move with the same urgency as me. On top of all of that, they are lovely people with whom it's a pleasure to work.
