But large plans are hardly our only focus. Small employers — for example, medical practices and family-owned businesses — also receive the same attention to detail and insightful legal guidance as clients with tens of thousands of covered employees. The volume of the plans we represent provide us with constant contact with the Department of Labor (Employee Benefits Security Administration) and the Internal Revenue Service on pension and benefits issues which in turn provides our clients with the assurance of representation by lawyers who are well-known and respected by government regulators.
