About Lisa Carlson
Legal consultant/counsel with unparalleled expertise in employer leave issues integral to retaining staff and remaining legally compliant. My sound legal advice is tempered with a consulting flair - offering understandable counsel to assist employers in making the best business decisions for their companies and employees. Leave laws have vastly increased in number and complexity, making it virtually impossible to implement required initiatives absent access to comprehensive and consultative legal guidance! I focus on solution oriented consulting in both employee leave and health and welfare benefits spaces - starting with federal FMLA, USERRA, ADA, ERISA, ACA and Title VII standards, continuing with the recently (and continuously) expanding landscape of state and local leave laws. I’m immersed in assisting clients with implementation, administration and problem solving relating to the never ending issues raised in the process of offering disability related benefits and complying with federal and state regulated leave requirements including FMLA, ADA, PF(M)L, SDI, sick leave, vacation, and other job protected paid and unpaid leave requirements. This aligns perfectly with my legal consulting expertise and unique long term focus in the health and welfare benefits area exclusively. A background representing carriers, brokers and employers offers an unparalleled understanding of the benefits industry, allowing me to effectively address employer challenges. My vast expertise includes supporting health and welfare plans for a variety of clients including commercial employers subject to ERISA, as well as public entities, churches and Native American tribes. As a solution focused attorney, my advice is centered on reasonable, real world options, with a goal toward mitigating risk. I have an extensive understanding of all state and federal benefits and insurance laws affecting health and welfare plans extending far beyond the traditional, but partially limited, law firm focus.
