Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation

About

Provided by Davis Wright Tremaine LLP

Our benefits group has a well-earned reputation for providing practical solutions to unique and challenging business problems. Our approach isn’t radical, we listen to what our clients think their benefits issues are, make sure that we understand these issues in the context of our clients’ overarching business goals, and then help get the client there and beyond. 

 Few firms can match the simultaneous depth and breadth of our Washington employee benefits practice. While other “big law” practices may have dedicated employee benefits practices, these tend to be focused in one or two specialty areas. Our Washington employee benefits attorneys all have strong benefits backgrounds and our team is supplemented by individual expertise, be it in defined contribution and defined benefit plans, executive compensation, ERISA litigation, ACA consulting or health and welfare plan consulting. 

Our attorneys regularly engage in collaborative brainstorming for clients and avoid the political frictions seen in other firms. They keep open, supportive lines of communication that ensure each attorney’s practice is complementary rather than competitive towards one another. Our clients benefit from this mindset by having access to a comprehensive team – not only one or two lawyers acting in a silo. Clients may not see our full team but they benefit from our almost 200 years of combined benefits experience.
