Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The firm has extremely knowledgeable ERISA litigators.'
‘Nancy Ross is one of the most knowledgeable ERISA practitioners. The firm also has savvy commercial litigators who are responsive, strategic, and quick to learn the ins and outs of ERISA.’
‘It would be difficult for most firms to have a "team" with significant ERISA litigation experience. Mayer Brown does. We had a solid team that included individuals from various experience levels, and MB staffed the matter well.’
‘Nancy Ross and Alex Lakatos were our team for most of this litigation so far and all served their roles well. Alex and Nancy have provided very balanced advice based on real experience in other cases.'
