Tamara S. Killion

Tammy joined Groom for the opportunity to focus on ERISA and ERISA compliance. "Employee benefit plans can be complex. I want to provide our clients with a map to enable them to get where they want to go, but I also want to counsel them about the potential detours, bottlenecks and hazards they may encounter along the way."

One of the prime reasons Tammy enjoys working on employee benefit plans is fact that "the law is constantly changing—sometimes erecting new barriers and often revealing exciting new opportunities for our clients." Facing a new challenge every day is something that Tammy enjoys, "but what makes it really rewarding is that when you assist a client to surmount a new barrier or you guide them through new opportunities, you help them accomplish their goal to provide valuable, and often crucial, benefits to their employees."

Although the ERISA legal landscape can be formidable, the collective expertise Tammy has found at Groom makes the journey a pleasure. Ultimately, she says, "clients make the best decisions when they have the best advice and information; it's my job to ensure they have it."
