Tim’s practice focuses primarily on advising employers (private and public, tax-exempt and for-profit) on a wide variety of benefits matters that arise throughout the lifespan of their benefits programs. This includes regularly counseling clients on plan design, administration and termination matters, compliance with applicable laws (including the Internal Revenue Code, ERISA, HIPAA, and the Affordable Care Act), and resolution of compliance issues with the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

Tim has experience assisting clients with matters relating to their health and welfare plans, qualified retirement plans, and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements. He regularly prepares documentation for the administration of such plans, including plan documents and amendments, participant communications and responses, and compliance-related filings.
