By Sandra Cohen ·

NEW YORK (February 18, 2020) – New York-based executive compensation and employee benefits boutique law firm Cohen & Buckmann, P.C. has expanded its Employee Benefits & ERISA and Executive Compensation practices with the addition of Emily Meyer as counsel.

Meyer, a seasoned attorney with more than 12 years of experience working at leading law firms in the New York area, advises employers of all sizes on complex matters related to the design and administration of employee benefit plans. She helps plan sponsors fulfill their fiduciary duties and address compliance errors of all types.

Meyer provides advice and counsel on ERISA, COBRA, HIPAA, Affordable Care Act and Code Section 409A compliance and drafting nonqualified deferred compensation, equity, and severance arrangements. She guides her clients through the compensation and benefits issues that arise in the context of mergers and acquisitions and other business transactions and the fiduciary and prohibited transaction issues related to ERISA plan asset investments.

Additionally, Meyer’s practice includes negotiating employment agreements and executive compensation packages on behalf of employers and executives.

“We are thrilled to have an experienced attorney like Emily join Cohen & Buckmann,” said Sandra Cohen, co-founding partner of the firm. “She deepens our bench of attorneys who practice in our primary practice areas.”
