We're From the Government, Ma'am, and We're Here to Help:
When the DOL Comes to Visit

We all know that the IRS audits retirement plans and at any point might disqualify us all!  But what do we understand about dealing with the Department of Labor and its Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA)?  This presentation will acquaint you with the ins and outs of DOL investigation and enforcement activity, from the side of the private practitioner.  Don't beware ... be aware!

Our Speaker:
Kevin G. Long is a Shareholder with Chang Ruthenberg & Long PC in Folsom, California.  Kevin's practice focuses on all facets of ESOPs including corporate succession planning, mature ESOPs, fiduciary representation and DOL/IRS defense, as well as all aspects of related nonqualified and equity deferred compensation planning for ESOP companies.  Over the last 25 years, he has helped guide over 250 ESOPs and ESOP companies to success, representing the spectrum of publicly traded corporations and privately held companies, from professional firms and banks, to manufacturers and retailers.  Kevin is a member of and a frequent contributing speaker and author in the area of ESOPs for the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO) and The ESOP Association.  He is a fellow of the American College of Employee Benefits Counsel, which recognizes significant contributions to the advancement of the employee benefits field, and was selected by his peers for inclusion in the registry of "The Best Lawyers in America"® and in the publication "Super Lawyers"®.
