SRZ's employment and employee benefits practice is dramatically different from the industry norm. Unlike most other law firms, we counsel and represent clients with respect to the whole employment relationship.
Our employment practice is committed to offering ongoing guidance and advice that emphasizes prevention. Our benefits practice provides technical advice to employers from the private, public and non-profit sectors, and educational and cultural institutions, as well as the trustees and administrators of pension and other employee benefit plans, on issues related to a wide range of compensation and benefits arrangements.
SRZ’s holistic approach enables us to bring a special insight to clients. Our strong understanding of the interrelationship of all areas of the law touching on the employment relationship, includes, for example, the impact of employee benefits law on the negotiation of employment agreements, collective bargaining agreements and purchase-and-sale agreements. We recognize that many employment decisions require a strong understanding of employee benefits law and trends.
In addition, many of our lawyers are experienced litigators who have litigated important and novel issues arising under both employment and employee benefits law. This comprehensive approach to the employment relationship enables us to serve more effectively and to anticipate the practical needs of employers, pension and welfare plan trustees, and senior executives.
Our litigation experience allows us, for example, to provide superior advice on such employment and employee benefit matters as the creation and amendment of policies and benefit programs, employee discipline and reductions-in-force, and structuring mergers and acquisitions. Whether in court, before government agencies or in the boardroom, our attorneys are strong, capable advocates.
