Fiore is a commercial and regulatory lawyer with a background in administrative law, commercial litigation, insurance, class action, employee benefits and ERISA disputes. She has extensive experience working on cases involving breach of fiduciary duty and denial of benefit claims under ERISAincluding claims under 401(k), employee stock ownership and disability plans.

Gabor, who formerly held an of counsel role with the firm, has long-term experience representing clients in litigation, negotiating and drafting benefits contracts, and handling compliance issues.
