Prior to his transition to “of counsel” status, Tom led the firm's Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation practice. He regularly assisted employers in the design, documentation, and implementation of qualified and non-qualified retirement plans and executive compensation programs (including equity based compensation programs) and compliance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). He was a regular speaker, both nationally and locally, on issues involving executive compensation and the responsibilities of fiduciaries of ESOPs and other benefit plans.
Tom was also a member of the firm's five-person Executive Committee from 1999 to 2017 and continued to serve on the expanded Executive Committee until his retirement as of January 1, 2019.
Tom continues to be available to consult with the other members of the Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation group as needed.
