> Employee Benefits > Retirement Plans

A properly designed retirement plan and competitive employee benefit package is crucial to the success of today's business. Because of the significant tax advantages they offer, retirement plans and employee benefits are two of the most heavily regulated areas of the law. The retirement plan and employee benefits group is dedicated to staying abreast of this complex area and offering innovative and practical solutions to our clients.

• Retirement Plans: Our practice focuses on advising clients in the selection and maintenance of qualified retirement plans, including profit sharing plans, money purchase pension plans, 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans, stock bonus plans, employee stock ownership plans, and defined benefit plans. Each plan is tailored to meet the individual needs of the client, while maintaining compliance with complex and constantly changing Internal Revenue Service and Department of Labor requirements. We also meet with employee groups to explain plan features and encourage participation.
• Health Benefits: We regularly consult with businesses and their professionals on complicated issues involving employer-sponsored health benefit plans. We design and implement cafeteria plans, flexible spending account plans, dependent care assistance plans, and medical reimbursement plans. We also advise clients on issues involving COBRA, HIPPA, and DOL regulations involving health benefits.
