Virginia & Ambinder, LLP, provides a wide range of services to the trustees of multiemployer benefit plans. We have represented plans that cover all types of workers from bricklayers to plumbers, tile layers and roofers. We are here to protect the people who build and service New York and New Jersey.
Our firm has the proficiency and experience necessary to advise trustees regarding the requirements of all state and federal laws and regulations thereunder that govern multiemployer welfare and pension plans, including:
- Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)
- Internal Revenue Code
- Labor Management Relations (Taft-Hartley) Act
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
- Retirement Protection Act (RPA)
We are also familiar with more recent legislation such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and we pride ourselves on staying current as legislation changes that affects our clients. When appropriate, our New York City employee benefit plan compliance attorneys draft or review all documents necessary to ensure compliance with these laws and make sure changes to retirement plans reflect new compliance standards.
Our lawyers represent multiemployer plans before the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the Department of Health and Human Services, and other government agencies. We work closely not only with labor and management trustees, but also with plan administrators and staff to assist them in performing their duties in compliance with applicable law.
