About Felicia
Biography
Felicia A. Finston has 30 years of experience handling benefit and compensation issues for Fortune 500 and other public and private companies and tax-exempt entities (including church-related organizations and government employers). Felicia prides herself on developing and maintaining long-term relationships with her clients, such that she in essence serves in the capacity of an in-house benefits counsel for many of her clients.
Felicia regularly provides legal counsel on qualified plan and health plan regulatory concerns, including ACA and HIPAA compliance issues, Form 1094 and 1095 filings and penalty assessments and Medicare coordination of benefit matters. She also advises clients regarding executive compensation and governance matters, such as SEC disclosure and filing issues, shareholder approval issues and proxy disclosure requirements involving compensatory arrangements. An important part of her practice also involves representing clients before the IRS, the DOL and the PBGC in connection with employee benefit plan audits and under voluntary submission programs such as EPCRS and DFVC.
