Corporate pension benefits represent an important part of social security for many employees. We advise companies on developing and designing appropriate plans and models, from direct benefit plans to pension funds, explaining the relevant employment, social security and tax law consequences. We also support our clients in designing corporate pension plans that are financed in part by converting salaries or government subsidies (Riester pension benefits). We also explain the significance of and requirements for vested employer-financed benefits, and provide legal counsel on all issues arising in connection with insolvency protection for corporate pension benefits. In the process, we bring the interests of the company into optimal alignment with those of its employees, thereby avoiding legal uncertainties that may lead to disputes.
