Lena focuses her practice on creating, reviewing, and implementing benefit programs designed to meet the needs of for-profit and nonprofit entities of all sizes.
In today’s competitive workforce, employee benefit plans are an efficient tool for attracting and retaining talent. I help employers navigate the complex and evolving legal landscape surrounding benefit plans to ensure that their offerings are well designed and properly maintained.
I regularly advise employers, executives, and third-party administrators on a wide range of issues relating to defined contribution and defined benefit plans, church plans, non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements, health and welfare plans, and fringe benefits.
I assist with day-to-day plan administration issues, and I’m heavily involved in drafting plan documents, amendments, required notices, and participant communications. I also help resolve plan errors under the IRS and DOL correction programs, and guide clients through governmental audits. In addition, I counsel clients on benefits issues in connection with their corporate transactions.
SECURE 2.0’s slate of plan enhancements gives employers meaningful tools to engage their employees in saving for retirement. Employers should consult with their plan advisors and service providers to decide how best to implement these offerings.
