OUR FIRM    

 

Many large law firms have practice groups that provide legal services in employee benefits and ERISA law. At Mondress Monaco Parr Lockwood PLLC, this is all we do. We are a premier, nationally recognized ERISA law firm, with great depth and breadth of experience. Our focus is on providing top-notch legal services in an efficient manner.

Our lawyers provide an integrated array of services to employee benefit plans, their sponsors and fiduciaries, and institutional service providers. Our services range from assistance in ERISA and tax compliance matters and business transactions to advice on fiduciary standards, complex prohibited transaction exemptions, and plan design.

Whether the issue is tax strategy, governmental correction programs, litigation, or fiduciary counseling, our lawyers provide practical advice in clear terms. We represent employee benefit plans of all types, including:

  • Defined benefit pension plans
  • 401(k) and profit sharing plans
  • Other types of “defined contribution” plans
  • Health and welfare plans, including cafeteria plans, and
  • Deferred compensation arrangements.

Our clients include plans with tens of millions to up to $30 billion in assets, reflecting our range of problem-solving abilities. Our private sector clients range from start-up entities to large benefit plans supporting national operations.  In the public sector, we are fiduciary counsel to entities such as the Seattle City Employees’ Retirement System and Seattle Deferred Compensation Plan. Our clients are located throughout the country.

Our litigation practice reflects extensive trial and appellate court experience in federal and state courts, representing benefit plans and their fiduciaries in benefit claim and fiduciary breach cases in trial and appellate courts throughout the country.
