About

Provided by GrayRobinson, PA

The GrayRobinson employee benefits team includes attorneys and professionals with decades of combined experience advising clients on the design and administration of retirement, executive compensation, and health and welfare benefit plans. Our attorneys offer deep knowledge of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and provide strategic counsel on the design, implementation, and oversight of both qualified and nonqualified retirement plans, executive compensation arrangements, and health and welfare programs.

We’ve guided the creation of numerous Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) over the past decade, representing companies with a collective enterprise value nearing $1 billion. Our experience spans plan structuring, compliance, and benefits issues in mergers and acquisitions, helping clients manage risk and preserve value.

Our practice covers a broad range of plan types and issues, including ERISA litigation, deferred compensation, 401(k) and 457(b) plans, nonqualified arrangements, and fringe benefit compliance. We also advise on benefits aspects of corporate transactions.

Supporting our attorneys is a team of experienced ERISA paralegals with backgrounds in retirement plan recordkeeping, providing efficient service and cost savings.

With a team focused solely on benefits law, GrayRobinson delivers practical, tailored solutions that help employers meet obligations, manage liabilities, and support their workforce with effective benefit offerings.
