Background

About Jean Yu

My practice focuses employee benefits/ERISA, multiemployer funds/collective bargaining, and executive compensation. In my employee benefits and ERISA work, I advise clients on negotiations with the IRS and DOL in audits, investigations, and other complex compliance issues, including correction of plan qualification errors through Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (EPCRS.) I design and implement traditional retirement plans, health and welfare plans, and various deferred compensation plans and arrangements, in addition to advising on ERISA fiduciary and prohibited transaction issues. I also negotiate and implement collective bargaining agreements and multiemployer plans and trusts and counsel employers on union- and pension plan-related issues. In my executive compensation work, I negotiate employment agreements and equity compensation arrangements for high-level executives at public and private companies across different industries, including several Fortune 100 companies. In addition, I render employment, compensation and tax advice to celebrities, public personalities, influencers, and high-net-worth individuals in connection with their business activities and counsel on restrictive covenant issues.
