Employee Benefits

Reaping the benefit of our long experience

Employees and employers increasingly favor compensation in the form of employee benefits rather than current cash compensation. Burr & Forman’s employee benefits lawyers advise and represent clients in all phases of employee benefits administration including developing employee benefit plans, pension plans and welfare plans; submitting tax-qualified plans to the Internal Revenue Service; requesting private letter rulings from the Internal Revenue Service; advising clients (both employers and plans) on plan administration and interpretation; advising clients on tax consequences of employee benefits plans; and representing clients in ERISA litigation before state and federal courts.

The philosophy of our ERISA and employee benefits practice is simple. We:

know our clients;

know our clients’ plans and needs;

know the law;

know how to apply the law to our clients’ plans and needs;

know how to temper the law’s application based upon particular circumstances;

know how to provide prompt, high quality, services at a reasonable and fair price; and,

know how to vigorously represent and pursue our clients’ interests in or out of court.
