When do I need a Lawyer?


When you have questions about your employee benefit plan, it is important that your attorney have experience and expertise in the ever changing area of ERISA law.  ERISA counsel can help a company officer or director meet his/her fiduciary responsibilities with respect to prudent retirement plan investments, starting up and amending benefit plans and avoiding the catastrophic consequences of plan disqualification.  These situations often  arise in connection with:

•  business mergers and acquisitions
•  benefit plan mergers, spinoffs and termination
•  withdrawal liability from multiemployer/union pension plans
•  401K plan contributions and advisors’ fees
•  revising plan documents and booklets, including SPDs, SMMs, QDROs, QMSCOs
•  retirement plan investments and hiring investment managers & advisors
•  protecting participants’ privacy in accordance with HIPAA
 
Retaining ERISA counsel ensures that someone who is knowledgeable about the law and the legal process handles your matter until it is resolved to your satisfaction.
