Extensive Experience in Employee Benefits
At Lewis, Overbeck & Furman, LLP, our employ benefits attorneys have a strong background working with clients to make sure their retirement plans, welfare benefit plans, and executive compensation programs meet applicable regulations. We work with business leaders to draft benefits policies following laws and regulations, such as:
- Equal Opportunity Act
- Internal Revenue Code
- Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)
- Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA)
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
We work closely with trustees appointed by unions and employers to make sure funds, such as pensions and 401(k) plans are property administered under Taft-Hartley, ERISA, and the Internal Revenue Code. These funds are heavily regulated — our attorneys help trustees make sure all laws and regulations are met.
Strong background Helping Employers Protect Themselves
In addition to drafting employee benefits plans, our lawyers have a strong background obtaining Internal Revenue Service approval for these plans. We also work closely with clients to maintain and continually improve their plans. When necessary, our attorneys represent employers in investigations and audits from the Department of Labor, as well as the Internal Revenue Service. We have been representing clients in this complicated area for more than six decades and will effectively protect your assets.
