Overview
May 3, 2024 – International law firm McDermott Will & Emery is proud to announce that Alden Bianchi, a member of the Firm’s Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation Practice Group, has been awarded the Bloomberg Tax Leonard L. Silverstein Award for Distinguished Service in Tax.
Alden was presented with the award at the annual Bloomberg Tax Author Appreciation Reception, which was held in conjunction with the American Bar Association’s 2024 May Tax Meeting on May 2, 2024, at the Riggs hotel in Washington, DC. The award was granted to Alden by Bloomberg Tax in appreciation for his outstanding work and contributions to the field of taxation, particularly regarding employee benefits and executive compensation issues.
“I have been privileged to have had the opportunity to contribute to the development of the tax law for employee benefits over the course of my career,” Alden said. “Bloomberg Tax knows the legal landscape when it comes to tax, so to have them recognize me with the Leonard L. Silverstein Award for Distinguished Service is an enormous honor.”
Alden is widely recognized as one of the foremost lawyers practicing in the field of employee benefits and executive compensation today. He regularly advises corporate, nonprofit, government and individual clients on a broad range of complex compensation and benefits matters. Alden represented the Romney administration in connection with the historic 2006 Massachusetts healthcare reform act, and he testified before the Senate Finance Committee in the lead-up to the passage of the Affordable Care Act.
“We congratulate Alden on this well-deserved recognition and his many career achievements,” said Andrew Liazos, global head of McDermott’s Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation Practice Group. “Alden inspires us all with his commitment to the employee benefits practice and prodigious writing, and I am grateful for his kind and generous spirit as a colleague and friend.”
In addition to serving on the Editorial Advisory Board for the Bloomberg Tax Compensation Planning Journal, Alden is the author of multiple Bloomberg Tax Management Portfolios, including T.M. 335, Health Care Reform , which is a comprehensive treatment of the impact of the Affordable Care Act on employers. He also serves as a member of the Advisory Council for The ERISA Industry Committee, a leading industry group.
The Leonard L. Silverstein Award for Distinguished Service in Tax is named after the founder of the Tax Management Portfolios for his longstanding contributions in the field of taxation for more than 60 years.
