ERISA Plan Preparation & Compliance

ERISA PLAN DESIGN

McMahon Berger works with clients to design, implement, and administer legally sound ERISA-governed benefit programs. We take the time to educate employers on tax effects, reporting, and disclosure requirements.

  • Pension plans including 401(k), 403(b), 457, profit-sharing, and defined benefit plans.
  • Welfare plans including health insurance, severance plans, and bonus plans.

ERISA PLAN ADMINISTRATION

To help employers maintain compliance, McMahon Berger offers guidance in the day-to-day administration of benefit plans. Our attorneys help clients avoid penalties, unnecessary taxes, and potential litigation. We assist in the preparation of materials to communicate with employees regarding benefit plans. We also provide training to keep employers up-to-date on legal developments pertaining to ERISA-governed benefits.
