We have the largest—and most comprehensive—employee benefits practice of any law firm in Michigan.
We recognize that innovative employee benefits programs can give your business a competitive advantage. Warner works with you to develop the best possible packages in the most cost-effective manner. We draw on the counsel of attorneys from related practice groups to keep an eye on tax, insurance, estate and HR consequences for any plans developed.
From Fortune 100 companies to small, family-owned businesses to nonprofits, Warner can help you design, develop and manage employee welfare programs, executive and deferred compensation plans, retirement plans and incentive programs. We regularly represent clients in governmental audits, investigations and administrative proceedings before state and federal agencies. We have tremendous experience in ERISA, HIPAA, FMLA, ADA, COBRA and related legislation.
Our firm establishes more employee stock ownership plans, or ESOPs, than any other in Michigan. When it comes time to sell, transfer or close a business, our attorneys can advise you on the opportunities—and pitfalls—inherent in managing your benefits program during that process.
