Biography

Tim Stanton is an energetic advocate for and trusted advisor to inside counsel and benefits and HR executives.

His clients include: retailers and wholesalers; insurance, banking and financial services firms; and food companies and manufacturers, as well as colleges and universities.

Tim actively counsels clients on the roller coaster ride that is national health care reform, as well as on ERISA fiduciary duties, health information privacy and security, retiree medical age discrimination, and consumer-directed health plans. Frequently, Tim is called on to negotiate complex services agreements.

Years spent as a newspaper and magazine reporter and editor prior to beginning his law practice in 1996 helped Tim develop communication skills that serve him well in working with colleagues and clients as well as adversaries.

A proud father of three and husband of one (Mimi), Tim lives in Elmhurst, Ill.
