About Stephanie Ahmad
I'm an attorney helping employers navigate complex benefits issues with peace of mind. My practice focuses on employee benefits and ERISA, including health and welfare and retirement benefits. I've been recognized as a Rising Star by The Legal 500 in Benefit Plan Design. I've helped Greenberg Traurig obtain recognition as a top tier firm in Benefit Plan Design and in ERISA Litigation. I work with a team of talented benefits and compensation practitioners, always with the goal of providing the highest quality support to our clients. The federal government is currently prioritizing audits related to certain aspects of health benefits. I represent companies undergoing these types of benefits audits before the Department of Labor. I work proactively with clients to meet legal obligations and reduce the likelihood or impact of an audit. I litigate ERISA cases in federal court, utilizing the GT platform to work seamlessly in jurisdictions across the United States. I regularly secures favorable outcomes for clients and am mindful of managing sensitive employee relations issues. I also support mergers and acquisitions by performing employee benefits related transactional due diligence. I have experience in the design, implementation, restatement, amendment, and review of health and welfare benefit plans, cafeteria plans, fringe benefit plans, and retirement plans. I regularly counsel clients on compliance with health care reform, laws impacting benefits and benefit plans, and related tax implications. I also regularly advises clients on U.S. leave laws. Before joining GT, I served as a law clerk to Judge Harry Pregerson on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, where I gained experience with ERISA. I graduated from Stanford Law School where I was a student attorney in the Youth and Education Law Clinic, a Senior Editor of the Stanford Law and Policy Review, and a board member of the Stanford Latino Law Student Association. Prior to law school and after graduating with a B.A. from UC Berkeley with distinction, I taught for two years at a Montessori elementary school in the Caribbean. In addition to my work as an attorney, I have twice been elected to local office as a school board trustee and she am currently serving my second four-year term.
