The attorneys in our employee benefits and executive compensation practice advise clients on matters of statutory compliance and ERISA, COBRA and HIPAA, as well as provide litigation defense counsel. We focus on individually designed plans and the host of services they require, including preparation of cost and benefit projections; design of specific plan features (such as benefit funding, eligibility, retirement options, and loan provisions); advice and assistance in the selection, oversight, and retention of service providers; preparation of legal notices and election forms for the administration of the plan; and advice on fiduciary obligations and liabilities. Our attorneys are also experienced with non-qualified pension arrangements, such as deferred compensation plans, non-qualified stock-based compensation arrangements, and deferred compensation plans for tax-exempt organizations. We also have experience navigating employers through the waters of distressed plan terminations, including in a union environment.
In addition, we have developed experience in multi-employer pension issues which we believe few can match. Representing some of the largest employers in the country in connection with their multi-employer pension issues, we have worked with employers in assessing, planning for and litigating withdrawal liability issues.
