Employee Benefits

Bruce advises clients on the implications of tax, securities, labor, and other laws, including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Drawing from over 30 years of employee benefits experience, Bruce partners with clients to develop benefit plan design and compliance strategies that meet both their business objectives and the legal requirements applicable to their employee benefits plans. He counsels clients with regard to the full spectrum of employee benefits matters, including qualified defined benefit and defined contribution plans, defined benefit plan funding and plan termination, deferred compensation, and other nonqualified plan programs and executive compensation arrangements, plan compliance and correction, health and welfare programs, participation in multiemployer plans, withdrawal liability, and mergers and acquisitions. Bruce frequently consults and negotiates with the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor, and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation with regard to audits of plans, correction issues including voluntary correction and correction on audit, plan termination issues, and requests for advisory rulings and opinions.
