The firm has "a very sophisticated, full service corporate practice," she said. "And so to have both of those, the opportunity to work with this strong bench of benefits lawyers and also a strong corporate group, was really kind of the best of both worlds. The opportunity to lead the benefits and executive compensation group and expand it is really exciting."
Krengel advises clients in all aspects of benefits and executive compensation such as the design, compliance and operation of health, welfare plans and retirement plans. The bulk of her work focuses on advising public employee retirement systems on tax and fiduciary issues. She also handles the employee benefits and executive compensation aspects of mergers and acquisitions.

"A lot of my work is helping clients find solutions and opportunities in an area of law that tends to be complex and nuanced, and so at times it can be daunting for clients," she said. "I really enjoy counseling clients through that and finding solutions and opportunities for them."
Krengel is a graduate of UC Davis School of Law and is a member of the National Association of Public Pension Attorneys and the American Bar Association.

"DLA presented this role as an opportunity to grow my practice and to shape it, all with the support of very talented partners and obviously highly regarded large firms and all of its many resources," Tauman said of her decision to move from Goodwin Procter, where she was counsel. She said she is still impressed with the amount of support and knowledge she's gaining from making the move.
"I learned early in my career that I really enjoy working with startups and early stage clients, because of the closeness of those relationships," she said.
"Smaller companies tend to regard outside counsel as members of their own team, which is gratifying."
Tauman worked "to ensure that clients of every type and size come to rely on me in that same way. I love the human element of the work that I do. ... I may be a little old fashioned in that I'll pick up the phone and call folks and encourage clients and colleagues to ring me anytime. I really do enjoy and appreciate the personal connection."
