PRACTICE

ERISA and Employee Benefits

Overview

Our attorneys design and implement comprehensive employee benefits and executive compensation plans that comply with ERISA and other regulatory requirements. We advise on plan administration, fiduciary responsibilities, and benefits disputes, ensuring our clients attract and retain top talent while minimizing legal risks.

  • Full Spectrum of Business Transactions

    Like traditional large law firms, we regularly assist clients in the full spectrum of business transactions and related company matters, a large portion of which involves mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, banking and credit, employment, regulatory, corporate governance and board advisory, intellectual property, and financial restructuring and reorganization, among others.  

  • Leveraging Technology

    Our Corporate team leverages cutting edge technology in all aspects of practice and our diverse all-partner teams focus on what matters most to our clients and stakeholders, delivering outcomes through shared values of strength, diversity, and collaboration.  

  • Forging Close Partnerships

    We believe in forging close partnerships with our clients to better understand their business operations, enabling us to provide more effective counsel and to deliver exceptional value during pivotal moments that often shape profoundly the trajectory and success of our clients’ businesses.

  • Effective Low-Leverage Platform

    Our unique low-leverage platform is not only more cost-effective, it allows us to focus on fewer, targeted engagements than our peers at traditional, elite law firms. This model allows us to get closer to our clients and to know their  businesses, preferences, and cadence, and to ultimately meet our clients where they are.

Capabilities

We craft equity compensation plans, deferred compensation arrangements, and health and welfare benefit programs tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients’ businesses. We advise on the creation of 401(k) plans, pension plans, and other retirement vehicles, and we help clients navigate the complexities of plan governance, funding, and participant communications.
