A skilled and versatile ERISA and executive compensation attorney with a strong tax background, Marc distills complex and technical analysis into terms that business leaders understand.
Marc provides counsel to clients on a full suite of ERISA/qualified plan issues and keeps his clients up-to-date with the ever-changing benefits compliance landscape. He guides clients through thorny issues that arise with respect to defined contribution plans (401(k), 403(b), profit-sharing), defined benefit plans and health and welfare plans. He is adept at analyzing and drafting non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements (both 409A and 457 arrangements), incentive plans, bonus plans, change-in-control plans, retention agreements, equity and “equity-like” plans and other types of more bespoke executive compensation programs. He regularly drafts employment agreements, consulting agreements and severance agreements.
On the M&A side, Marc provides buy-side and sell-side diligence for employee benefits, executive compensation (including 280G) and general employment matters. His counsel encompasses advising on the covenants, rep and warranties in purchase agreements, and drafts any ancillary or go-forward agreements as they arise.
His varied practice also affords him the opportunity to comment on credit agreements (specifically related to ERISA issues), annuity contracts, trust agreements and restrictive covenants. He applies his expertise across a broad range of industries, including private equity, healthcare, industrial products, manufacturing, entertainment, energy and non-profit organizations. He also represents clients in matters before the IRS, DOL, PBGC and state agencies.
Marc’s prior experience includes time with a Big 4 accounting firm in addition to several prominent law firms in New York City.
