About Jeff London

I call on more than 30 years of legal experience to advise clients on employee benefits and executive compensation matters. I regularly advise public and private companies in all areas of compensation design, including implementation of equity, equity-based, and non-equity-based compensation arrangements, such as stock option plans, phantom stock plans, gain-sharing programs, and other types of short-term and long-term incentive programs. I also counsel boards of directors and compensation committees in structuring compensation programs and agreements for themselves and their executive officers, negotiate employment and severance agreements, and serve as “agent” on behalf of senior level executive officers. Additionally, I design and implement qualified pension and profit-sharing plans (e.g, ESOPs, 401(k) plans, cash balance plans, defined benefit plans, and profit-sharing plans) and counsel clients on the regulatory and administrative requirements of maintaining qualified plans. I advise clients on all aspects of welfare benefit plan design and administration, such as health insurance programs, long-term disability programs, long-term care programs, and severance agreements, including counseling on such varied issues as COBRA, HIPAA, VEBAs, flexible-spending accounts, and cafeteria plans. In addition, I have represented clients in all aspects of ERISA litigation, including benefit claims, fiduciary breaches, and multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liability disputes. I previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Harrison & Held LLP, now known as Harrison LLP.
