Employee Benefits
Our Employee Benefits team advises employers on designing and managing benefits programs that attract talent, retain key personnel, and meet evolving compliance requirements. We support clients across industries with practical guidance on tax-qualified retirement plans, health and welfare benefits, and executive compensation structures.
We assist in drafting and maintaining 401(k), 403(b), pension, profit-sharing, and other qualified plans, ensuring they align with business goals and meet IRS and Department of Labor requirements. Our attorneys also provide compliance support under ERISA, COBRA, HIPAA, and the Affordable Care Act.
In addition to plan design and compliance, we represent clients in audits, voluntary correction programs, and disputes involving benefits administration. We also advise on nonqualified deferred compensation, severance arrangements, and equity-based incentive plans for executives and key employees.
Whether establishing a new plan, managing risk, or responding to regulatory scrutiny, we deliver responsive, business-focused legal counsel that helps employers support their workforce while protecting their bottom line.
