Dallas, TX, January 24, 2007: Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP is pleased to announce that Heath A. Miller has joined the firm as a partner in the Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation Practice. Mr. Miller has broad experience in the design, implementation, and administration of employee benefit plans, including qualified retirement plans, nonqualified plans, health and welfare benefit plans, stock and other equity-based plans, and other executive compensation arrangements.
"Adding Heath, with his strong reputation, experience, credentials, and client and community relationships, to our already notable Morgan Lewis Employee Benefits Practice Group will enable us to enhance our reputation and to continue to develop our sophisticated national practice," said John Kober, Managing Partner of the Dallas office, and a partner in the Employee Benefits Practice. "His presence also assists us as we expand our Texas and Southwest benefits and executive compensation practice," he continued.
Mr. Miller represents clients before the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor on matters related to employee benefits and has extensive experience with the correction programs embodied in the Employee Plans Compliance Resolutions System (EPCRS). Additionally, he advises clients, as well as corporate and securities lawyers, regarding the employee benefit issues associated with mergers and acquisitions, and he provides practical guidance to clients with respect to benefit integration both in preparation for and following such transactions.
Mr. Miller also helps clients navigate through the somewhat counterintuitive rules associated with the recent passage of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and regularly advises clients on issues related to the use of plan assets and rules regarding prohibited transactions in connection with various real estate ventures and finance arrangements.
A 1997 graduate of South Texas College of Law, Mr. Miller received an LL.M. in tax from the Georgetown University Law Center in 1998. Prior to joining Morgan Lewis, Mr. Miller was with the law firm of Baker Botts LLP.
