About

Provided by Vedder Price PC

Vedder Price has one of the nation’s most experienced and sophisticated executive compensation and employee benefits practices, bringing invaluable capabilities in numerous specialty areas, including SEC disclosure, corporate law and the tax implications of executive compensation and employee benefits. Our clients span diverse industries and range from multinational public companies to small professional service corporations and start‐up enterprises. Such clients seek our advice on a broad range of compensation and benefit issues such as incentive compensation, severance programs and retirement and welfare benefits.  We also provide counsel to investment advisers who manage substantial retirement assets. In the area of employee benefits litigation, our attorneys routinely represent clients across the country in connection with ERISA fiduciary and related benefits issues. We have broad experience representing clients and their plans before the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor, Office of Civil Rights and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. We’re also skilled in obtaining determinations from those regulatory agencies on the qualified status of the plans and the many interpretive questions that inevitably arise in the course of benefit plan administration.
