The Wagner Law Group | Est. 1996

Nationally-Recognized ERISA Services

Trusted ERISA And Employee Benefits Expert Witness Testimony

In high-stakes ERISA litigation, a case often comes down to one simple question: what does prudent, industry-standard behavior actually look like?

Sorting out complex plan administration, fiduciary duties and investment decisions requires more than standard legal arguments. It demands clear authority.

At The Wagner Law Group, our expert witness services give courts the clear, credible framework they need to evaluate complex facts. We provide trial teams with a strategic advantage, helping shape case outcomes, reduce multimillion-dollar liability and secure critical recoveries.

Our Key Professionals

Our attorneys often serve as expert witnesses across ERISA, employee benefits, executive compensation and investment management law. The team at The Wagner Law Group includes nationally recognized practitioners:

By combining hands-on practice leadership with courtroom experience, our team brings real-world credibility that judges respect and opposing counsel cannot easily dismiss.

Deep Knowledge Across Complex Litigation

We provide authoritative expert testimony in high-stakes benefit and investment disputes, including:

  • Fiduciary duty and governance: Benchmarking prudent processes, prohibited transactions and industry standards.
  • Plan design and benefit administration: Dissecting the mechanics of 401(k), 403(b), defined benefit and ESOP plans.
  • Executive compensation: Evaluating equity plans, nonqualified deferred compensation (NQDC) and severance arrangements.
  • Investment management and fees: Assessing fee fairness, revenue sharing, portfolio prudence and evolving standards.

Our targeted focus on these nuanced issues allows us to pinpoint key details and present clear, defensible standards of care.

Supporting Trial Counsel From Strategy To Verdict

We partner with trial counsel through every stage of a dispute:

  1. Prelitigation evaluation: Analyzing the merits of a dispute, fiduciary compliance and potential exposure early on.
  2. Rule 26 written reports: Writing clear, logical and fully backed expert reports.
  3. Deposition and trial testimony: Translating intricate regulatory concepts into compelling testimony.

Our thorough preparation and solid methods ensure our opinions hold up under tough cross-examination. This helps give you a decisive edge in negotiations or at trial.

Recognized And Proven In Federal Court

Judges rely on our clear, credible testimony to resolve high-stakes cases. In Sacerdote v. New York University, U.S. District Judge Katherine B. Forrest commended Marcia Wagner’s testimony for the defense:

“[Ms. Wagner’s] experience with 403(b) plans is impressive and her testimony consistent, reasonable, logical and ultimately, highly credible.”
