Provided by Troutman Pepper Locke LLP

Employers face complex and competitive pressures that can impact their ability to attract and retain top talent. Our dedicated, well-resourced team of employee benefits and executive compensation attorneys provides practical guidance for these challenges throughout the lifecycles of our clients’ businesses.

As employers continue to grapple with persistent change, we create solutions for employee benefits and executive compensation issues that help mitigate risk and forward our clients’ goals. Clients work with us on every aspect of their compensation, benefits, and compliance needs — from designing, drafting, and implementing plans and agreements to counseling on compliance, fiduciary duties, and plan administration.

We regularly assist clients on the complexities arising from their significant transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. Our team applies best practices from serving as outside benefits and compensation compliance counsel to also assist with post-transaction integrations.

Through client work in all major sectors, including energy, insurance, health care, financial services, private equity, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and technology, we offer industry-specific insights and perspectives. Our team regularly serves tax-exempt and governmental entities as well, and we work extensively with boards of directors, compensation and investment committees, plan fiduciaries, plan administrators, and other benefits consultants.
