Employee Benefits

Laws concerning employee benefits, particularly retirement plans, have become extremely complex in recent years. As federal and Puerto Rico's employee benefits statutes and regulations change, McConnell's Employee Benefits Practice Area takes a proactive role in advising clients in choosing their benefit plans wisely, drafting the documentation that governs the plans, ensuring that they meet the criteria for favorable tax treatment and complying with all legal requirements.

Our firm represents numerous local, national, and multi-national business clients, including manufacturing, financial institutions, service firms, hospitals and medical service providers, venture capital concerns, educational institutions, regulated utilities and not-for-profit and governmental organizations.

Our Employee Benefits Attorneys work closely with our clients' professional advisors in identifying issues that impact their benefit programs. In addition, they are experienced in working with business clients on necessary amendments to or termination of employee benefit plans, or in identifying the impact that corporate mergers and spin-offs may have on employee benefit plans.
