Executive Pension And Retirement Benefits Counsel With Competence And Judgment

After a company separation or role change, your retirement and benefit security can become uncertain. If you’re evaluating a severance package, negotiating an exit or dealing with denied benefits, our lawyers at Warren & Siurek, L.L.P., can provide strategic employment benefits counsel. Our services are tailored to executives and senior leaders.

We’ve advised CEOs, senior executives, C-suite executives, and company VPs across southeast Texas since 1992. Our approach to executive-level employment law is measured and business-minded. Our goal is to provide clear options, realistic risk analysis and prompt execution – without theatrics.

How We Help Senior Executives

We counsel decision makers facing high-stakes, urgent benefits issues, including:

• Retirement plan issues involving pensions, stock options and other incentives.
• Equity and deferred compensation concerns that overlap with plan administration (when ERISA applies).
• Executive-level ERISA guidance that focuses on outcomes.

ERISA governs many employer-sponsored benefit plans offered by private employers. While employers generally have no obligation to provide benefit plans, once a plan exists, ERISA may impose strict rules on administration, claims procedures, disclosures and fiduciary conduct.

​For executives, these issues often surface at the worst possible time – during a transition, a dispute over plan interpretation or a benefits denial. We can help you identify plan requirements, determine deadlines and assess your leverage. We then help implement a strategy aligned with your goals and reputation.
