The Society of Actuaries recently published an essay by our own Jack Lund.  The essay discusses some of the subtle effects a widespread but short-lived unemployment event might have on the American retirement system.

Will Woolston helps employers solve tough employee benefits and executive compensation problems. Will is a partner in the firm’s Washington office whose practice focuses on all aspects of global employee benefits and executive compensation for companies of all sizes in a variety of industries, including specialty chemicals and performance materials, disruptive technology, defense and aerospace, gaming and entertainment, and sports.

Will offers a practical approach to employers facing challenging decisions and transactions that impact their officers, executives, employees, and retirees. His approach and perspective developed over many years of close, day-to-day relationships with counsel and staff at major multinationals. In addition, Will provides an insider’s view and appreciation of the challenges facing in-house counsel, having once served as seconded corporate counsel to one of the largest U.S. defense contractors.

Although best described as a generalist in the employee benefits and executive compensation space, Will’s practice focuses significantly on the following areas:

  • Tax-qualified retirement plans, with a particular emphasis on cash balance and pension equity plans
  • Domestic U.S. and global equity incentive programs.
  • Corporate transactions and post-closing workforce integration
  • Executive employment agreements, retention and bonus agreements, and other similar incentives

Will was named a 2020 Law360 Rising Star in Employee Benefits.
