EBL – the leading independent guide to recommended intellectual property lawyers, practice area news and legal insights:

Employee benefits lawyers specialize in advising employers, fiduciaries, and other stakeholders on the complex legal and regulatory landscape of employee benefits plans. They help navigate ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act), executive compensation matters, tax laws, and other regulations related to retirement, health, and welfare benefits. These lawyers provide guidance on plan design, compliance, and litigation, ensuring plans are well-structured, legally sound, and effectively managed. 

Each year more than 40,000 nomination forms are distributed to business directors, in-house counsel and lawyers operating in a wide variety of sectors and industries across the USA. An initial shortlist for each state is formed based on the results of peer nominations and our own independent research. The team then assess the shortlisted lawyers based on 8 key performance indicators, before a final selection is made for each state.

To assist potential clients, EBL provides a detailed profile for each recommended attorney, highlighting their expertise and experience, an overview of their firm, its employee benefits practice and full contact information.
