Case Study
About
Florio Perrucci Steinhardt Cappelli Tipton & Taylor LLC is a full-service law firm with offices strategically located throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York.

CHALLENGE
In September 2019, Florio Perrucci switched payroll services to ADP. As part of this change – which coincided with open enrollment – the firm opted to review its group healthcare plan. As an ADP Partner, Triton Benefits & HR Solutions was highly recommended and competed among several insurance brokers to offer group health options. To examine Florio Perrucci’s needs, cost and culture, Triton Benefits worked closely with Charlie Braxmeier, the firm’s administrator and Terri C. Davenport, human resources and accounts receivable coordinator.
“As a leading law firm, recruitment and retention are critical to maintaining our high standards,” explained Braxmeier. “Offering group healthcare options for our attorneys, personnel and their families is critical, and is one of the key differentiators of our firm.”

As part of its process, Triton Benefits invested time to understand Florio Perrucci’s benefits needs,taking into account:
- the range in age of personnel
- types of coverage
- associated costs
The process included benchmarking against others in its industry and region to make sure Florio Perrucci’s benefits offering was competitive. It ultimately recommended Cigna which represented the best plan.
“Triton Benefits was very responsive to our situation and needs,” added Davenport. “Under their guidance, we were able to provide a better plan, comparing apples to apples, with better options, and at a significant cost savings.”
Results
