We are personally engaged in every client relationship, seeking to understand each client's immediate needs, long-term goals, and risk tolerance so we can deliver practical advice within the framework of legal compliance.
We counsel employers in all relevant aspects of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, and other laws that govern the form and administration of retirement plans, health and welfare benefit plans, executive compensation arrangements, equity-based compensation programs, and fringe benefit plans. Our institutional client base includes community hospitals and regional health care systems; colleges and universities; employee-owned construction companies and publicly traded biotech companies; multinational banking and financial organizations; and churches and church-affiliated organizations. All our client relationships are characterized by collaboration and longevity. A service team typically includes at least two attorneys to promote highly responsive and reliable service. Whether interactions are weekly, monthly, or less frequent, we collaborate with our individual client contacts and seek to provide the one-on-one support that allows them to proceed with confidence.
