Ivins Attorneys Teach ABA Employee Benefits Law CLE for Hundreds of Lawyers

Employee Benefit Basics for Business Attorneys 

Benjamin L. Grosz served as chair and moderator of the ABA “Business Law Basics” CLE program.  Ben was joined on the panel by Ivins partner Steven H. Witmer, as well as in-house counsel co-panelists Anne K. Kyzmir (Asst. General Counsel, National Fuel Gas Distribution Corp.) and David L. Pilson (Director, Compensation & Benefits Counsel, eBay Inc.).  The panel reviewed and taught fundamental Employee Benefits topics and issues to more than four hundred ABA business lawyers via a webinar course.

Issues discussed included ERISA, qualified retirement plans, health and welfare plans, fiduciary duties and liabilities, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and benefits issues in M&A.  The panel represented both the in-house and outside perspective and offered practical advice and useful context concerning key issues, concluding with a lively Q&A discussion.  The program was presented by the Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation Committee of the American Bar Association’s Business Law Section.
