Large and midsized employers that maintain employee benefit and executive compensation plans are likely to require the assistance of one or more professional advisors to assure their plans accurately reflect and support their organizational goals. These plans need to be properly documented, administered in accordance with those documents, and operated in compliance with applicable law. Sophisticated employers look for employee benefits counsel who will become their partners in legal compliance and provide effective advice to support their organizational goals.
Verrill's Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation Group provides highly collaborative legal services oriented toward midsized and larger employers, whether they are for-profit or nonprofit, in a wide range of industries. We are personally engaged in every client relationship, seeking to understand each client's immediate needs, long-term goals, and risk tolerance so we can deliver practical advice within the framework of legal compliance.
We counsel employers in all relevant aspects of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, and other laws that govern the form and administration of retirement plans, health and welfare benefit plans, executive compensation arrangements, equity-based compensation programs, and fringe benefit plans. Our institutional client base includes community hospitals and regional health care systems; colleges and universities; employee-owned construction companies and publicly traded biotech companies; multinational banking and financial organizations; and churches and church-affiliated organizations. All our client relationships are characterized by collaboration and longevity. A service team typically includes at least two attorneys to promote highly responsive and reliable service. Whether interactions are weekly, monthly, or less frequent, we collaborate with our individual client contacts and seek to provide the one-on-one support that allows them to proceed with confidence.
The technical abilities of individual lawyers in the Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation Group, and of the group as a whole, have been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America, Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business, New England Super Lawyers and by Martindale-Hubbell. What sets us apart is our strong commitment to providing highly accessible, value-added advice and building long-term relationships with our clients.
