Experience

Rick chairs the GrayRobinson employee benefits and deferred compensation practice group. Rick’s individual practice involves the design, drafting, implementation, and operation of “qualified” retirement programs, “nonqualified” deferred compensation arrangements, and welfare benefit plans (e.g. cafeteria plans, medical plans, etc.) He has successfully defended employers against the IRS and the Department of Labor in more than 300 audits, appeals, and rulings. His roster of clients includes both publicly traded companies and privately held employers, as well as numerous governmental and tax-exempt organizations. Currently, the majority of Rick’s practice involves governmental plans, where the that apply to these arrangements are significantly different than the requirements applicable to private sector retirement programs, which makes this area a specialty practice within a specialty practice.

Additionally, Rick is a frequent lecturer on benefit issues and has conducted several seminars on a national level.
