Kantor & Kantor, LLP Promotes Peter S. Sessions to Partner
Kantor & Kantor, LLP, a distinguished law firm renowned for representing individuals in disputes surrounding health, life, long-term care, and employee benefits, has officially announced the promotion of Peter S. Sessions to the role of Partner. This strategic decision highlights his extensive contributions to the firm's ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) and insurance-benefit division, particularly in fighting for clients who have been unjustly denied their entitled benefits.
Peter, who has been an integral part of the Kantor & Kantor team for nearly two decades, is well-regarded for his expertise in ERISA litigation, representing clients across the nation. His legal practice primarily deals with complicated cases related to health benefits, disability, life insurance, long-term care, and pension disputes. Over the years, Sessions has developed a reputation as one of the firm's most dependable attorneys, praised for both his legal skills and collegial demeanor.
In addition to his litigation practice, Peter serves as the editor and primary author of "Your ERISA Watch," the firm's widely recognized weekly publication that offers critical insights into developments within ERISA law. The publication has become an invaluable resource not just for legal practitioners but also for claimants navigating the intricate landscape of employee benefits litigation.
A testament to his skills, Sessions recently achieved a significant victory in the groundbreaking case of
Dharmaseena v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. This case, concerning Long COVID disability, set important legal precedents that enhance protections for individuals suffering from post-viral ailments and fatigue-related disorders under ERISA.
Andrew M. Kantor, Senior Partner and Managing Partner of the firm, expressed his enthusiasm about Peter's promotion, stating, "Peter has built the foundation of Kantor Kantor's ERISA practice and is one of the firm's most respected and talented litigators. I am very excited that he is going to be a partner to help us succeed in the future."
Peter himself reflected on his new role, saying, "I couldn’t be happier about becoming a partner at Kantor & Kantor, which has been a force for good in protecting people's rights to insurance and employee benefits for more than two decades. The attorneys and staff at Kantor & Kantor are smart, dedicated, and caring people who are a joy to collaborate with. It is nice to know our work is doing some good in the world. I have been with Kantor & Kantor almost from the beginning and look forward to many more years of helping the firm grow in this new role."
As a Partner, Peter S. Sessions will continue his pivotal work in national appellate and trial cases surrounding ERISA and insurance-benefit disputes. He will also take on a mentorship role for associates, contributing to the firm's ongoing strategies for growth and leadership.
