- Developing an employee benefits strategy at the beginning of a decision to acquire or merge
- Negotiating the employee benefits provisions of the deal
- Advising on due diligence issues
- Handling post-closing matters (for the acquiring company) such as managing the acquired plans (compliance, changes in plan provisions and amending plans for benefits uniformity), employee communications and preparing Internal Revenue Service and Department of Labor filings
