We advise employers on the tax and regulatory matters related to their qualified defined contribution and defined benefit plans, as well as their health, welfare, Section 125 cafeteria and severance plans. We also advise both employers and senior executives on the tax and compliance issues related to executive compensation, non-qualified deferred compensation, equity and “phantom” equity compensation plans and arrangements. We advise employers regarding the funding vehicles they use for their employee benefit plans and arrangements, including tax exempt trusts, rabbi or secular trusts, annuity contracts, and general employer assets.
