Our merry band of ERISA geeks is ready to assist you with a formal ERISA plan document. We know plan docs are a chore, so we hope to make this as easy as possible for you, while still ensuring it's done right.
You'll find our approach to be quite a bit different than other firms, and we hope you'll see the difference it makes. While preparing your plan document, we conduct an issue-spotting compliance review and create a customized compliance calendar with proactive email alerts. We also offer recommendations for addressing any identified issues.
All you have to do is provide a few key pieces of information. No extra work on your part; that's why you pay us.
