Over the last 20 years, the legal issues affecting employee benefits
have become much more complex. The laws and regulations governing
pension and profit sharing plans, Section 401(k) plans, deferred
compensation, health, life, disability and other retirement and
welfare plans continue to change as Congress struggles to balance
the competing goals of social policy and revenue enhancement. Expensive
litigation over pension rights, retiree health benefits, severance
pay, withdrawal liability, disallowed deductions, and age and sex
discrimination grows constantly.
In this fast changing, highly technical environment, quality
legal advice is an essential part of overall benefits planning.
Davis Wright Tremaine, with one of the largest and most experienced
Employee Benefits Practice Groups on the West Coast, helps companies
of all sizes design and implement successful plans, ensure compliance
with constantly changing laws and answer the difficult questions
that always arise. This practice group works closely with lawyers
in the firm's well-known Employment Law Department on issues that
overlap both fields and with our office in Washington, D.C.
