Her practice involves all areas of employee benefits law, including the establishment, amendment and termination of qualified retirement plans, non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements, tax sheltered annuities, individual retirement accounts, cafeteria plans, and other welfare or fringe benefit plans and counseling clients on compliance and other aspects of the operation of employee plans, such as taxation of distributions, nondiscrimination requirements, prohibited transactions and early retirement windows.  Carol is also a member of the firm’s Executive Committee.
