Job Description

The ERISA Attorney serves as the firm's internal expert on ERISA law, serving as the 'go-to' resource for questions regarding retirement plan governance, administration, and management. The position requires a pro-active, problem-solving mindset coupled with a strong grounding in the applicable regulatory requirements. The Attorney is an individual performer, working closely with colleagues in our sales, retirement consulting and document teams to address client needs while managing the Company's fiduciary and legal risk. This is not a law firm with billable hours; this is a retirement plan consulting firm.

Responsibilities

• Assist colleagues with complex technical Administration Compliance issues with an emphasis on practical problem solving.
• Consult with IRS and DOL agents on Plan audits for existing or consulting clients.
• Prepare VCP submissions for operational and document failures for existing or consulting clients.
• Review Qualified Domestic Relation Orders to confirm requisite information.
• Cost-effectively engage outside counsel where and as needed.
• Educate colleagues regarding regulatory changes and their impact on existing and new retirement plans. Duties will include hosting informal internal forums, potentially presenting at industry and company-hosted events, and working with our marketing team to draft periodic newsletters.
