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.
