Friday, Eldredge & Clark advises employers of all sizes and types—public, private, tax-exempt, and governmental—on the design, implementation, and administration of health and welfare benefit plans. Our Employee Benefits attorneys focus exclusively on benefits, bringing deep experience with group health plans (self-insured and fully insured), cafeteria plans, wellness programs, wrap plans, and other welfare arrangements.
We help clients navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape under the Affordable Care Act, ERISA, HIPAA, COBRA, GINA, ADA, and related laws. Our team regularly reviews and negotiates third-party agreements, PBM contracts, and Business Associate Agreements; assists with ACA reporting and employer shared responsibility requirements; and supports employers in audits, investigations, and penalty abatement before the IRS. From plan documents and participant communications to claims, appeals, and fiduciary training, we provide practical, end-to-end support to keep your health and welfare plans compliant, efficient, and aligned with your workforce strategy.
