Ellen Goodwin works in Groom’s Fiduciary Practice Group, primarily focusing on investment, fiduciary, and prohibited transaction issues. She has significant expertise in the reporting, disclosure, and coverage areas of Title I of ERISA.

Before joining Groom, Ellen served as a regulation attorney in the Solicitor’s Office of the Department of Labor (DOL) and a Pension Law Specialist in the Office of Fiduciary Interpretations of the DOL’s Employee Benefits Security Administration. At DOL, Ellen devoted a significant amount of time to working with claims procedure regulations in addition to drafting and issuing interpretive guidance under ERISA’s fiduciary provisions.

What we do here ultimately helps people obtain benefits from their employers and helps employers provide benefits to their employees. That has meaning for me.
