We navigate the complicated rules that govern employee benefit plans. We work with your outside accountants, consultants or in-house personnel to identify and solve legal problems relating to employee benefit plans at key points during the life of your business.

New Benefit Plans

If your business undergoes a merger or acquisition, rapid growth, reorganization or even unionization, its benefit programs may require overhauling. We can help. If your business has personnel changes, experiences a dramatic shift in profitability, or reaches a higher level of organizational maturity, we can help redesign its plans to meet evolving business needs and minimize potential liability.

Trouble-Shooting and Problem-Solving

Although much of our work is preventative, when there's a problem, we're there to represent you. We can step in to resolve problems such as unfunded plans, benefit issues during insolvency and bankruptcy, disqualification, plan terminations, fiduciary issues, or worker-filed lawsuits.

Plan Maintenance, Updates and Upgrades

As companies grow and laws change, benefit plans require periodic maintenance to stay cur-rent and in compliance with ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. Maintenance might include discretionary amendments, new employee communications, or amendments required by tax code changes.
