Defined Benefit Pension Plan for Law Firms
Most law firms have no pension arrangements at all. But that’s about to change. Lawyers Financial is partnering with CAAT, an $11-billion, not-for-profit trust, to launch DBplus, a defined benefit pension plan for law firms of any size. DBplus eliminates the funding risk for employers and creates a guaranteed retirement pension income for lawyers and staff. Everyone benefits.
For employers • Attract and retain top talent. • Reduced costs, risks and administration. • Eliminates compliance and fiduciary risks of administering a pension. For employees • Earnings are predictable. • Reduced stress – no complex investment decisions. • Consolidate existing registered funds into DBplus.
The Bottom Line
DBplus will provide a guaranteed retirement income that is paid monthly for life. On average, a member who participates over their entire career in DBplus is expected to receive approximately $8 in pension benefits for each $1 they contribute.
