I highly recommend Anne Tyler for legal services relating to employee benefits (including retirement plan, health and welfare benefits and executive compensation) plan design, implementation and compliance. Anne Tyler also advises clients on fiduciary compliance and liability issues. She brings a high level of sophistication, experience and knowledge to a complex area of law. In addition to her technical legal abilities, she is a pleasure to work with. A credit to the profession.
