Seyfarth Benefits Solutions

Our employee benefits attorneys and professional staff don’t just focus on the complex employee benefit plan-related needs of our clients. We are also well-versed in managing routine—but important—aspects of plan administration in an efficient manner. We are able to offer many of these services for a flat fee.

Our full-service Seyfarth Benefits Solutions offering is aimed at getting HR and employee benefit personnel out of the more repetitive, sometimes complex, and always time-consuming administrative benefits work and provide resources to manage these matters.

HOW WE HELP

Through Seyfarth Benefits Solutions, we offer a suite of administrative services for tax-qualified and non-qualified retirement plans, as well as all types of health and welfare benefit plans. These fundamental services—common to all employee benefit plans—are often time-intensive. We can efficiently perform all aspects of these tasks with a strategic staffing model, with fixed fees or other alternative rate structures to optimize efficiency and delivery.

Seyfarth Benefits Solutions is especially valuable to companies with limited internal benefits staff and businesses with multiple employee benefit plans or large participant populations where the staff may be inundated with a high volume of these administrative activities.

• Claims and appeals administration
