WASHINGTON, D.C. - Paul M. Hamburger, an employee benefits partner in McDermott Will & Emery's Washington, D.C. office, has been selected as a Fellow of the American College of Employee Benefits Counsel.
The American College of Employee Benefits Counsel was created to elevate the standards and advance the public's understanding of the practice of employee benefits law.
