Service Provider and TPA Counseling

We serve as ongoing legal counsel and technical advisors for third party administrators, recordkeepers, actuaries, banks and trust companies, investment providers, consultants, insurance benefit providers, and other service providers to employee benefit plans.

We understand their business goals and challenges in the complex and quickly evolving field of employee benefits and we help them operate their business from both a competitive as well as a regulatory basis.
