Overview
From strategic design of cost-effective benefit programs to navigating complex legal and tax issues, we empower businesses to enhance recruitment, retention, and overall employee satisfaction.
In addition to the foundational work on day-to-day employee benefits and executive compensation matters, our experienced Bricker Graydon team offers a comprehensive suite of services encompassing the entire spectrum of benefits and executive compensation. Catering to employers of all sizes in a number of different industries, including private section, tax-exempt and public organizations, our experience includes drafting and reviewing various documents such as retirement and welfare plan documents, deferred compensation plans, and agreements with executives.
Our dedicated team navigates a multitude of intricate issues, including operational compliance with the Internal Revenue Code, ERISA fiduciary matters, prohibited transactions, COBRA compliance, HIPAA regulations, and Affordable Care Act compliance. Furthermore, we zealously represent employers in dealings with regulatory bodies such as the IRS, DOL, HHS, and PBGC. This representation spans audits, investigations, and error corrections, showcasing our commitment to compliance and mitigating potential risks. Additionally, we collaborate closely with our litigation attorneys, providing valuable insights and assistance in resolving benefit and compensation disputes.
We have a team of attorneys that assists clients in designing and administering compensation arrangements for their executives. While employers have a great amount of latitude in designing their executive compensation programs, Internal Revenue Code rules have complicated the design and administration of these programs. We help our clients design plans that meet their business needs while complying with all applicable regulations.
At Bricker Graydon, our holistic approach and extensive services make us a reliable partner for businesses navigating the intricate landscape of employee benefits and executive compensation.
