Pension Funds
Our pensions law practitioners provide practical counseling to sponsoring employers, trustees, and plan administrators involved in running occupational pension plans on all aspects of legislative, regulatory, and fiscal requirements. The scope of this advice encompasses acquisitions, plan mergers and terminations, plan investments, fiduciary matters, discrimination issues, disputes and plan funding. Our lawyers are highly experienced in drafting and amending plan documentation, particularly with respect to tax reform and other changes required by legislation or new regulation. We also represent pension plans, plan sponsors, and trustees in litigation-related matters and before local governmental authorities and agencies.
Similarly, our pensions lawyers have become trusted advisers to employers who operate in the international arena. We have substantial experience in dealing with all international pensions issues, including advising on the suitability and tax efficiency of offshore arrangements and making recommendations on the provision of pension benefits for internationally mobile employees.
We have advised clients regarding the tax, labor law, and other regulatory issues involved in the establishment of global pension programs in dozens of jurisdictions worldwide. We have assisted clients in solving operational problems with respect to ongoing global pension programs and can offer practical solutions based on concrete experience. Finally, our lawyers assist both buyers and sellers with respect to the pensions issues raised in multinational transactions. With our extensive network of offices, we can give clients information from all relevant jurisdictions. |
