Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation

We have considerable experience in employee welfare benefits, including the designing and drafting of self-funded health plans and cafeteria plans. We counsel clients as to managed care alternatives with respect to health benefits, including the negotiation of contracts with providers for services and alternative delivery systems. We also counsel clients as to cost-saving alternatives with respect to employee welfare plan administration.

We also have extensive experience in designing, drafting and implementing all types of qualified and non-qualified deferred compensation plans, including stock-based incentive compensation programs and executive compensation plans. In addition, we assist clients in establishing hundreds of qualified retirement plans, including all types of pension, profit sharing, stock bonus, employee stock ownership (ESOP) and Section 401(k) plans. We counsel employers ranging in size from small, closely held businesses to publicly traded companies with thousands of employees.
