Employee benefits are a critical, yet often overlooked, facet of corporate restructuring. Potential mergers, acquisitions or spinoffs can be jeopardized by improper handling of employee benefits liabilities. To help our clients avoid these pitfalls and guide transactions through to success, we routinely advise on the employee benefits aspects of corporate transactions, perform due diligence and analysis of legal obligations of the myriad types of employee benefit plans and arrangements that are implicated during deal-making, and negotiate and draft the components of purchase and sale agreements that pertain to employee benefits matters. In addition, where there is a need for an employer to "down" or "right" size, we have extensive experience in the design of severance and early retirement programs to ease the transition.
