KLB Benefits Law Group is a boutique law firm specializing in employee benefits law. Our firm’s attorneys are highly experienced in the legal rules that regulate employee benefit plans, as well as in the practical and operational considerations affecting those plans. We provide an extensive array of services covering a wide variety of employee benefit plans, primarily focused on ERISA-governed retirement plans and health and welfare programs. Headquartered in Washington DC with a satellite office in Southern California, we provide our legal services nationwide to a diverse clientele.
We specialize in employee benefits law. That is our exclusive focus.
While that may sound like a narrow area of practice, it actually covers a broad array of complex issues that can arise when employers offer benefits to their workers.
Retirement Plans
We give authoritative advice to employers on 401(k), 403(b), 457(b) and cash balance plans.
Health and Welfare Plans
We help employers navigate the many requirements impacting their health plans, fringe benefit programs, and many other types of employee benefits.
Corrections
With so many complex rules to comply with, instances of non-compliance by employers are almost inevitable, even with the most diligent application of administration and oversight. In these situations, we can help solve problems and design correction strategies that seek to minimize the financial impacts on employers.
Why Choose Us?
We provide the same high-level representation available from large firms, but with the cost-effective and more personalized approach that only a boutique firm can offer. As a small, specialty firm we offer each client:
- Responsiveness—Every client is important to us. We are sensitive to the timeframes required by your business. At all stages of the work, your matter will be given prompt attention by a highly-experienced attorney.
- Efficiency—We do not try to be all things to all people. By concentrating on a single area of law, we often know how to solve your benefits legal problems without requiring extensive and costly research. But, when a situation requires research, we know where to look.
- Reasonable Fees—Our billing rates are substantially lower than those charged by attorneys of comparable reputation and experience at larger firms. And, we will work with our clients to design customized fee arrangements that meet specific needs.
- Focus on Real-World Solutions—We strive to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.
