Experience

Jorge Leon is at the forefront of advising on emerging fiduciary issues related to ERISA cybersecurity and litigation mitigation. Clients entrust Jorge to oversee the design and administration of their health and welfare programs, executive compensation arrangements, and retirement plans. As a boardroom insider for public and privately-held companies, Jorge enjoys the confidence of directors, compensation committees and C-suite executives and helps them solve critical compensation and benefit issues.

Plan sponsors, administrators, fiduciaries, insurers, and third-party recordkeepers turn to Jorge for strategic counsel on designing, establishing, and maintaining benefit and compensation plans. Clients laud his responsiveness and meticulous approach to matters ranging from plan establishment and design to government investigations and inquiries, ongoing compliance and qualification, ERISA litigation, and mergers and acquisitions.

As a general problem-solver and external general counsel in higher education, Jorge has helped clients with their non-benefit needs. These clients have ranged from colleges and publicly traded and privately-held companies to ultra-high-net-worth individuals in the NFL and financial world. Recent matters Jorge has successfully handled for these clients involved M&A, banking regulatory compliance, corporate/commercial law, real estate, immigration, employment law, bankruptcy, debt restructuring, turnarounds, and various types of litigation (e.g., commercial, cybersecurity, securities, and employment).
