Juliana Reno

Ms. Reno’s practice spans all aspects of employee benefits. Her primary emphasis is on health and welfare plans, including ERISA, COBRA and HIPAA issues. Currently, she spends much of her time advising employers, insurers and third-party administrators concerning compliance and planning opportunities under the new health care reform law. She also consults with clients on a regular basis concerning qualified retirement plans and executive coopmensation issues. A recovering litigator, Ms. Reno is no longer in the courtroom, but continues to advise clients on a wide range of benefits-related litigation, including disputed cutbacks to retiree health benefits, alleged prohibited transactions and breaches of fiduciary duty, and claims for benefits under ERISA and nonERISA plans. Through her experience in both benefits and litigation, Ms. Reno has developed a related specialization in the area of government contracting--she has represented clients before the OFCCP and frequently counsels clients concerning wage and benefit requirements under the Service Contract Act and the Davis-Bacon Act.
