Ermer & Brownell, PLLC manages the legal counsel panel for Wright USA’s Federal Employees Professional Liability Insurance Program Counsel. Our panel includes attorneys with exceptional expertise in a wide range of areas affecting federal employment. Our panel’s experience on the “inside” as former Assistant U.S. Attorneys, members of the military, counsel to federal agencies, and law enforcement agents assures them a unique understanding of the federal work place.

Utilizing industry best practices, we work closely with Wright USA. Drawing upon years of Wright USA program experience, we have implemented several legal service program enhancements to assure the highest standards of excellence.

In addition to providing top notch legal defense services, we know that our mission includes assisting our clients in evaluating their options. We respect all federal employees, and we understand that our legal defense services must facilitate federal employment career goals. We recognize that a claim in this program usually arises out of very difficult circumstances and that the “best” defense must take into account agency politics, work place personnel, and collateral employment/retirement options. We help our clients analyze their options and the potential consequences of those options, both globally and in the context of the specific claim. We guide our clients in making a decision: aggressive defense against an adverse action or negotiation for a compromised resolution.

Once our mission is clearly defined, we work hard for our clients to achieve the desired result. We pride ourselves on our ability to communicate with our clients, develop the best defenses possible, develop productive working relationships with agency personnel, and aggressively advocate on their behalf.
