Jones Day lawyers who represent tax-exempt entities, church plans, or public plans and their governmental sponsors understand the unique environment in which such plans operate.
Our clients include nonprofit and religious hospitals and health care systems, charitable foundations, schools and universities, and federal credit unions. Jones Day lawyers strive to bring creative solutions to the employee benefits and executive compensation issues unique to these employers.
Our lawyers are equally sensitive to the status of public plans as tax-exempt plans sponsored and administered by a political body that is typically operated under open meeting, public records, and contract bidding standards, and with outside investment advisors and consultants playing important roles in asset classes such as private equity and real estate. Our experience allows us to develop and offer design and operational advice that enable these plans to satisfy the special set of tax and fiduciary standards applicable to them.
