Our attorneys provide full-scope employee benefits legal services based on extensive experience, including related tax, health, and employment laws. BMDD attorneys understand every employer’s benefits needs are different, and we collaborate with our clients to provide individualized advice.
We maintain a national presence as ERISA attorneys that puts us at the table with the top employee benefits professionals and regulators within the DOL and IRS. We have cutting-edge insight into developing laws and regulations, and a network of professionals that help refine our understanding in areas that are of concern to our clients.
BMDD is the largest and most experienced law firm in the region dedicated exclusively to employee benefits law.
BMDD clients are some of the largest employers in the Northern Rockies region and many conduct business on a national level. Our clients include multiple employer associations, banks, hospitals, state and local government entities, church-affiliated organizations, for-profit and non-profit entities, tax-exempt entities, and publicly traded companies.
Our attorneys advise on all aspects of employee benefits law and can address legal compliance for the full array of benefit plans and programs, including all types of retirement plans for both for-profit and tax-exempt entities, self-funded group health plans, multiple employer plans, health care reimbursement programs, reinsurance plans and policies, cafeteria plans, wellness programs, executive compensation arrangements, stock or equity-based incentive programs, “top hat” plans, and wrap plans.
We regularly speak on and publish articles about hot topics in employee benefits, including Mental Health Parity, SECURE 2.0, the Affordable Care Act, U.S. Supreme Court decisions, and important developments in laws such as ERISA, COBRA, and HIPAA.
BMDD seeks to provide transparency with respect to the cost of legal services. We offer an alternative business model that minimizes or eliminates billable hour charges while giving clients unlimited access to BMDD attorneys for comprehensive or project-based legal services.

We frequently represent existing and new clients faced with IRS or U.S. Department of Labor audits.
When plan errors arise, BMDD attorneys help employers navigate corrective programs with the agencies to avoid audits. We also provide advice regarding plan reporting and compliance with plan disclosure requirements.
