The firm counsels employers in the design, implementation, and operation of retirement plans and deferred compensation programs. We also represent employers before the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor in the matters of initial and continuing tax qualification and audits of plans covered under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

• Retirement plan design and qualification of pension plans (both traditional and cash balance), profit sharing plans, money purchase plans and 401(k) plans
• Nonqualified plan design including “Top Hat” elective deferred compensation arrangements and supplemental executive retirement plans
• Retirement plan termination including applications with the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
