Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation

The shifting rules and regulations governing employee benefits plans make it increasingly difficult for plan sponsors and service providers to navigate the complex employee benefits landscape. Porter Wright’s nationally recognized attorneys help guide clients of all sizes through administrative and legal challenges that come with providing competitive compensation and benefits packages to attract and retain talented employees and executives.

We combine the knowledge and experience of a variety of attorneys — including employee benefits, labor and employment, corporate, tax and litigation — to assist with plan design and administration, transition issues that arise in complex corporate transactions, government audits and litigation. We regularly work with clients’ in-house general counsel, human resource/benefits departments, finance departments and other executives. In addition to representing employers in their role as plan sponsor, we routinely counsel insurance companies, third-party administrators, outside consultants, trustees, investment managers, fiduciaries and others acting in the role of employee benefit plan service provider.

Every business has unique needs and goals when it comes to providing retirement and benefit plans for employees. We work with clients to identify those needs and address them in benefit plans, systems and procedures. Regardless of the size or industry of our clients, we work quickly to craft practical employee benefit solutions.
