I have always thought this might be a good place for law firms and ERISA and benefits attorneys to connect regarding employment opportunities. In that regard, a Philadelphia attorney has written me and given me permission to mention his request here:
I am a 1999 graduate of a top 10 law school. My legal employment since graduation consists of one year as a clerk to a judge in a Pennsylvania appeals court, and three years as an associate in an AmLaw 100 law firm in its Employee Benefits department. My experience has involved advising clients in all aspects of ERISA and the tax code, and drafting documentation for all types of health and pension plans. Specifically, I have been involved in guiding clients through the maze of administrative remedies such as the Internal Revenue Service’s Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (“EPCRS”) and the Department of Labor’s Prohibited Transaction Exemption program and Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance Program. Recently, I have also provided substantial advice on HIPAA compliance. I am currently looking for a position either in an Employee Benefits group, or in a broader practice area in which my benefits skills can be utilized, such as a Labor or Health Care practice.
Please take particular note of the HIPAA experience. That is hard to come by. You can email this attorney by clicking here.
