Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation

Attorneys in our Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation practice represent clients who have established and maintain broad-based retirement plans, group welfare plans, and fringe benefit arrangements for their rank-and-file employees as well as stock-based incentive plans, non-qualified deferred compensation plans, and other perquisites provided to executives. The practice generally involves the preparation of the documents that implement and communicate these programs to eligible employees in a manner intended to simultaneously achieve the purposes of the program and not expose the client to unexpected duties, liabilities, or obligations. The practice also includes litigation defense work relating to all forms of benefit claims and causes of action under ERISA. Clients represented by this practice group include publicly traded companies, private businesses, and 501(c)(3) entities.

Our attorneys have a wide range of experience in all aspects of employee benefits and executive compensation arrangements, including their design, administration, and, where necessary, defending against litigation.
