Our Team
Representation of tax exempt organizations has been a significant component of the Employee Benefits and Compensation Group’s practice for many years, and our lawyers have successfully guided numerous clients through the creation and administration of their individual plans. These clients rely on our group to provide advice regarding all employee benefits issues requiring the assistance of outside counsel, including compliance with all provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to tax exempt organizations. Our team is regularly asked to make presentations on benefits issues, as we excel at communicating complicated benefits concepts to all key stakeholders.
