Empowering Plan Sponsors with Clarity and Control
At Health Plan Legal Counsel, we specialize in fixing what’s broken in employer-sponsored and Taft-Hartley health plans, whether governed by ERISA or whether they are non-Federal governmental health plans governed by other federal and state law. Whether it’s opaque contracts, undisclosed compensation, runaway costs, or compliance landmines, we help plan sponsors take back control through tactical and calculated negotiations, strategic dispute resolution, and sharp legal insight. Our benefits advisors complement this work with innovative ideas for plan design, cost containment, and point solutions that are population focused and compliance based.
Our work is rooted in ERISA and other governing frameworks, but we don’t just check boxes—we teach fiduciaries how to spot the real risks, understand their obligations, and make decisions that prioritize plan value and member wellbeing. From training and education to hands-on compliance guidance, we drive measurable results that align with your business goals and your legal responsibilities.
We call it compliance with teeth.
