Wagner Law Group Adds ERISA Attorney
Thomas E. Clark, Jr., an Employee Retirement Income Security Act specialist and employee benefits lawyer, has joined the Wagner Law Group.
Reported by PLANADVISER staff
Marsha Wagner, managing director of the Wagner Law Group, says the addition of Thomas Clark, Jr. is an important addition to the law firm’s Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) team. “Tom is an important addition to our ERISA team of outstanding attorneys as we continue to build legal depth in the complicated ERISA arena, especially litigation,” Wagner notes.
Clark’s expertise encompasses all aspects of employee benefits programs, including the design, implementation and compliance of retirement plans, health and welfare plans, and executive and incentive compensation arrangements. He specializes in assisting covered service providers in meeting their ERISA compliance needs.
“Clark is a well-seasoned litigator complementing the strong ERISA and employment litigation department,” Wagner adds, “which will be expanding in 2015.”
Earlier in his career, Clark worked for the law firm of Schlichter, Bogard & Denton, including on such landmark cases as Tibble v. Edison—pending for argument before the U.S. Supreme Court. He also is editor-in-chief of the Fiduciary Matters Blog and teaches ERISA fiduciary law as an adjunct professor at the Washington University in St. Louis School of Law, his alma mater.
Wagner also announced the addition of Seth Gaudreau as an associate in the firm’s Boston office. Gaudreau focuses on ERISA and business litigation.
