Introduction
Caitlin Britos is an associate in Nixon Peabody’s Corporate practice group and a member of the firm’s Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation team. She advises public and private corporate clients on remaining compliant with ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code in the context of their employee benefit and executive compensation plans, including but not limited to their health and welfare plans, retirement plans, and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements.
My focus
I counsel clients through the full life cycle of their benefit and compensation programs—from day-to-day plan administration and design to the benefits and executive compensation issues that arise in corporate transactions. I am experienced in drafting employment and severance agreements, equity awards, board resolutions, plan documents, summary plan descriptions, and the participant communications that help employees understand the benefits available to them.
I also see part of my role as staying a step ahead of change. I follow legislative and regulatory developments closely and turn them into resources that help clients anticipate what’s coming rather than react to it.
