Attorneys in our Employee Benefits group advise clients on
all aspects of benefits law. We represent businesses, associations,
governmental units and other clients of all sizes in a wide range of
employee benefit matters. We have particular expertise in helping clients
design the right plan for them, and advising clients on how to implement
and administer those plans. When plans have been administered improperly,
we assist clients in identifying and fixing the problems. We also handle
employee benefits issues in mergers and acquisitions, company
restructuring and litigation. Our expertise includes:
-
401(k) and profit sharing plans
-
ESOPs
-
Pension plans
-
Deferred compensation and executive pay
-
Stock-based plans
-
Group insurance plans
-
Self-funded health and disability plans
-
COBRA and HIPAA
-
Cafeteria plans
-
Association plans
-
Fiduciary responsibility
Employee benefit issues are often intertwined with
other legal issues. In those situations, members of the Employee Benefits
group work closely with Poyner & Spruill lawyers who concentrate in
other areas of the law. For example, for our publicly held clients and
clients involved in acquisitions, we work closely with our corporate and
securities lawyers. We also work closely with our employment lawyers in
matters involving severance pay, family leave laws, and age and disability
discrimination.
