Paul’s practice involves advising employers on all aspects of their employee benefit programs, including matters affecting tax-qualified retirement plans, such as: 401(k) plans, ESOPs, and defined benefit plans, including cash balance plans; executive compensation plans; and welfare benefit plans, including cafeteria plan and COBRA issues. He also advises employee benefit plan trustees and service providers on ERISA and employee benefit plan-related matters. Paul has extensive experience in representing clients before government regulatory agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

Paul is described in Chambers USA by clients as “a creative, business-oriented and brilliant lawyer who educates and enlightens.” US Legal 500 also recognizes Paul as “especially recommended” for his benefits-related tax and employee benefits practices.

As an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center, Paul teaches the LL.M. tax course on ERISA Health and Welfare Benefit Plans. He is a frequent speaker on employee benefit matters and has given annual presentations at the ABA National Institute on Welfare Plans since 1987. He also is an author of numerous articles and other publications on employee benefits matters, including three nationally-circulated loose leaf publications, published by Thompson Publishing Group: Mandated Health Benefits – The COBRA Guide, The Guide to Assigning & Loaning Benefit Plan Money, and The Pension Plan Fix-It Handbook.
