Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation

We represent clients in a broad spectrum of benefits and compensation matters. Our lawyers have participated in hundreds of mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate reorganizations, advising sellers, buyers, lenders, and intermediaries on compensation and benefits issues affecting their transactions. More recently, since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, we have counselled many companies on their ACA compliance, including Citigroup and Fidelity.

We are counsel to dozens of 401(k) committees, and our advice is regularly sought out on plan governance and fiduciary compliance. Our lawyers routinely assist large pension funds to engage in sophisticated investment strategies, including equity swaps and other hedging arrangements. We advise multiemployer arrangements and funded welfare trusts. We practice before the IRS, Department of Labor, and the SEC, among other regulatory agencies.
