The employee benefits lawyers at Kirkland concentrate in providing both traditional employee benefits counseling and in developing creative approaches to complex problems arising in transactional and post-transactional settings, as well as restructuring settings. Our employee benefits lawyers serve as legal counsel for a diverse group of publicly-held and privately-held corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and not-for-profit clients of all sizes. Our group’s wide range of experience is reflected in the multitude of qualified and non-qualified employee benefit plans for which we provide counsel, including employer stock-related plans, defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans, welfare benefit plans of all types, both tax-exempt and taxable trusts, severance and employment agreements and other fringe benefit and executive compensation programs. Additionally, the group has considerable experience advising clients and representing them before the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor (“DOL”) and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”).
