GES attorneys have expertise in the area of U.S. employee benefits and comprehensive understanding of the legal framework regulating both broad-based employee retirement and welfare plans and executive-only compensation programs.  As a direct result of our representation of U.S. employers and their broad-based employee benefit plans and executive-only programs, we are able to advise non-U.S. companies regarding the appropriate programs to offer their employees in the U.S. when they commence in-bound business operations. 

 

Our familiarity with both U.S. and international employee benefit plan designs allows us to integrate employee benefit programs to provide a consistent program design, where that is a goal.  Moreover, our experience with non-U.S. benefits provides us with a sensitivity to cultural differences in the types of benefits that are offered, as well as the level of benefits that are provided.  In addition, we can suggest and evaluate tax minimization strategies and tax compliance issues to accommodate the desire of the company and to satisfy the needs of employees transferred across borders
