CHICAGO - (March 20, 2017) - Seyfarth Shaw LLP announced today the expansion and redesign of its Employee Benefits Administrative Service Center, which has evolved into Seyfarth Benefits Consulting. 
 
Introduced in 2014 by Seyfarth’s Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation department to provide a relatively narrow set of employee benefits administrative services, SBC grew in scope as plan sponsors and administrators drove demand for broader support maintaining their employee benefit plans more efficiently. 
 
“The success of Seyfarth Benefits Consulting continues to be driven by our ability to scale and match our offerings with the increasing demands of our clients,” said Rob Flanagan, chair of Seyfarth’s Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation department. “Seyfarth Benefits Consulting is uniquely positioned to handle the day-to-day, yet time-sensitive, aspects of plan administration, upkeep and compliance, so our clients can focus on their more strategic priorities.”   
 
Based on SeyfarthLean principles and backed by one of the largest Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation practices in the country, SBC focuses on supporting clients’ ongoing legal counseling and administrative needs in relation to their retirement, health and welfare programs. 
 
With a strategic staffing model, fixed fees, and other available alternative rate structures to optimize efficiency and delivery, SBC features a growing range of services, including:
  • Annual Compliance Reporting
  • Claim Administration 
  • Determination Letter Filings
  • HIPAA Privacy 
  • Legal Instrument and Levy Review 
  • Nondiscrimination Testing 
  • Qualified Domestic Relations Order Administration
  • Qualified Medical Child Support Order Administration
  • Special Projects
SBC represents an integrated offering from the lawyers and staff of Seyfarth’s Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation department, not a separate legal entity. To learn more, visit: seyfarth.com/BenefitsConsulting.
