Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation

About

Provided by McDermott Will & Emery LLP

ERISA litigation – Alongside advisory and transactional work, we work on a large amount of contentious employee benefits work, including litigation brought under ERISA. We represent clients before the IRS and DOL on audits and have secured impressive wins in federal court in disputes alleging that employers have charged employees excessive fees with regard to their retirement plans.

Qualified retirement plans – Our team advises on retirement plan compliance and sophisticated retirement plan issues, including defined benefit and defined contribution arrangements. We counsel clients to provide retirement benefits that meet organizational goals, address administrative concerns, and meet complex IRS and DOL requirements.

M&A/private equity – We regularly advise M&A clients on acquisition/disposition transactions, involving complex benefits matters, including issue spotting and risk assessment in the due diligence process, planning for continued/post-transaction benefits, and providing cohesive benefits to employees.
