Our attorneys represent and guide employers through every phase of the complex regulatory and legislative mandates employers face in  sponsoring qualified retirements plans, whether defined contribution plans (401(k), profit sharing, money purchase pension, SEP, SIMPLE) or defined benefit plans (pension, cash balance).

We work with employers, their financial advisors, accountants and third party administrators on the initial plan design or review of an existing plan design, to design a plan to meet the specific needs of the employer.   We then draft the necessary plan and administrative documents and guide the employer through its roles and responsibilities in connection with sponsoring the plan.  We continue to monitor the plan throughout our engagement for legislative, regulatory or administrative changes affecting the plan and routinely represent plan sponsors in connection with the audit and examination of the plan by regulatory authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service and United States Department of Labor.    In the event plan defects are discovered during our review of an existing plan, we guide plan sponsors through various voluntary correction programs sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service and United States Department of Labor to bring the plan into full compliance with the least amount of penalties to the plan sponsor.  Upon termination of the plan, we guide plan sponsors step by step through the termination process.
