On March 17, 2026, Calfee Partner and Co-Chair of the firm's Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation Group Jason A. Rothman co-presented a webinar with Barbri, "Avoiding Nonqualified Plan Traps: Key Considerations for ERISA Counsel and Employers."
The webinar's focus was to guide benefits counsel and employers on critical challenges in designing and implementing nonqualified plans. The panel discussed the application of Section 409A rules and correcting Section 409A errors, the implications of the "income inclusion" regulations, issues stemming from group carve-out plans, and methods to ensure the development of an effective strategy for key employees.
