Practice Area: Employee Benefits Law
Our employee benefits practice serves as "benefits counsel" to many
clients in this unique and complex area of law. We assist employers with choosing the employee benefits packages that
both satisfy the employees' needs and the employer's budget and tax advantages. We then draft and implement the benefit
plan and services. Periodically, we review plan documents for necessary legal or discretionary changes. Clients
frequently have questions as to how to administer the plan, apply hardship withdrawal rules, process QDROs, and amend their
plans. Our firm is accessible to your Human Resources Department to answer these questions on an as-needed or retainer
basis.
