Description

"Benefits Law Group was founded in 1996 on the philosophy that quality legal representation requires a solid relationship with clients and a practical, business-oriented approach. That's why we invest in relationships with our clients and solve their employee benefits problems in ways that are legally sound and administratively practical. We invite you to contact us to learn how our expertise can enhance the success of your company and increase the value of your employee benefits programs. Please contact any of our attorneys to arrange a meeting.

Benefits Law Group offers a complete line of employee benefits services for employers who maintain qualified retirement plans (such as 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) and defined benefit plans.) We provide guidance in implementing plans, plan design consultation, drafting plan documents, board resolutions and employee communications materials, and in submitting those documents to the IRS and other governmental agencies.

Benefits Law Group is dedicated to educating plan fiduciaries of their duties and responsibilities in order to prevent litigation and plan disqualification. We offer claims resolution services, guidance on plan administration, compliance audits, communications audits, fiduciary manuals and seminars. These services are a response to our clients’ concerns regarding the rising costs associated with plan administration and benefits litigation, employee mistrust of plan administration and government required fee disclosure.

Terri has extensive experience with the drafting and design of tax-qualified 401(k), profit sharing, defined benefit retirement and union plans, as well as issues that arise from the ongoing administration and operation of retirement plans. A significant portion of her practice has involved the benefits issues that arise before and after corporate mergers and acquisitions. In addition, Terri has substantial experience with the fiduciary and prohibited transaction aspects of the investment of the assets of ERISA plans, both from the viewpoint of the employer and the investment provider.

The Department of Labor continues to focus on fiduciary issues such as timely deposits of 401(k) deferral contributions, the proper investment of plan assets and plan loans. We provide advice and counseling to review employer practices and make sure that plans are in compliance before a Department of Labor investigation occurs. In the event of an investigation, we can work with DOL officials to resolve any issues.
