Introduction
My focus
I focus my practice on employee benefits, including single and multiemployer retirement plans, health and welfare plans, cafeteria plans, and executive compensation. I work with clients to navigate the complex and evolving landscape of benefits plans to ensure they are well-designed, properly maintained, and compliant with federal law. I provide day-to-day benefit plan administration and compliance support, including drafting and reviewing qualified and non-qualified plan documents, required notices, and participant communications. I represent clients in a wide range of industries, including construction, manufacturing, food services, retail, healthcare, and financial services.
Looking ahead
Employee benefit plans are an excellent tool for recruiting skilled and qualified employees who are keenly focused on their own futures as well as the successful futures of their employers. Recent legislation now provides employers with even more flexibility to design their employee benefits to meet the unique needs of their employees. Under the ever-changing environment of the benefits regulatory framework, I stay up to date and ready to help employers implement creative features in their benefits packages.
