Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation

Miles & Stockbridge works to ensure that employers’ health and retirement benefit plans and executive compensation strategies satisfy all applicable tax, legal and competitive standards.

We counsel clients with operations throughout the United States and in foreign countries and are familiar with the regulatory requirements that apply to their diverse benefit and compensation plans. Clients rely on our advice on how to implement new legal requirements, including the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA or ACA) and changes to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

The primary focus of our benefits counsel is proactive analysis of plans that minimizes exposure to government agency enforcement actions and employee complaints. Properly structured plans can provide substantial financial and tax advantages to employees and employers, and we work closely with our clients’ benefits staff and consultants on all issues involving plan effectiveness and legal compliance.
