Nicholas T. Stack

Partner

A partner in the Litigation and Disputes Service Line, Nick has extensive experience consulting with clients and litigating a broad range of commercial, appellate, and Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) issues. His commercial and appellate practice involves litigating and consulting on numerous business torts, contract disputes, trade secret claims, and non-competition and non-disclosure covenants. Nick’s ERISA practice includes litigating, arbitrating, and consulting on cases involving withdrawal liability, delinquent contributions, benefit interpleaders, and subrogation.

With his primary academic passions lying in history and government, Nick felt a predisposition to the legal profession. At Dartmouth College, he was particularly drawn to study the history, development, and application of the rules and structures that guide our local, national, and international interactions. In law school, he developed and refined his legal advocacy skills and began his development into a civil litigator. While at Boston College Law School, Nick was the managing editor of the Boston College Environmental Affairs Law Review.

When not at work, having a variety of interests keeps Nick occupied. Besides spending time with his wife and three children, he enjoys playing competitive squash and softball and following his favorite Detroit sports teams. He also appreciates his time outdoors hiking and backpacking and has found himself in such faraway places as Isle Royale National Park and the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
