We also work collaboratively across practice areas to advise clients on the complexities of employee benefit law. Our labor and employment and tax attorneys work together to design, structure and implement employee benefit plans that minimize the risk of litigation and provide value for your business and employees. We work with your human resource department, in-house counsel and other benefit professionals to create cost-effective benefit solutions. We also regularly help clients navigate benefits issues like fiduciary duties and federal ERISA regulations.
