Carlos Gonzalez Law Office LLC (d/b/a BenefitsPuertoRico.com) is a Puerto Rico-registered law firm devoted to assisting businesses, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit organizations operating in Puerto Rico with their tax, ERISA, employee benefits, and executive compensation matters on the Island.
Our mission is simple; provide all our clients with the highest quality legal services at reasonable rates.
Given our ample experience with, and formal education on, benefits and compensation matters, both in Puerto Rico and the United States, we offer our clients more focused expertise and lower rates than large, general practice law firms do. We emphasize providing practical solutions to business problems and adding value to our clients on everything we do.
Our clients include businesses of all sizes, from large multinational corporations to small local businesses. We service for-profit companies and their executives, churches, and other nonprofit organizations. We have even assisted the Puerto Rico Department of the Treasury (Hacienda) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with their initiatives and programs regarding retirement plans in Puerto Rico.
To all our clients, we bring proven expertise on benefits and compensation matters in Puerto Rico, the responsiveness and personal service that are the hallmarks of a smaller law firm, and a dedication to providing them with sound solutions to the problems they face in the constantly changing and complicated area of the law in which we practice.
We work on the full spectrum of employee benefits and executive compensation programs and initiatives, including:
- Retirement plans, both savings and pension
- Healthcare & welfare benefit plans and fringe benefits
- General & fiduciary ERISA compliance
- Cybersecurity measures
- Puerto Rico and United States income and payroll taxation of retirement income and other employee benefits
- Employee benefits claims and ERISA litigation
- Hacienda and IRS retirement plan-related filings
- Audits, examinations, and voluntary corrections with Hacienda, the IRS, and other government agencies
- Local benefits aspects of mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions
- Employment and severance agreements
- Nonqualified deferred compensation plans
- Stock options and other equity-based compensation arrangements
Our fees are competitive with those of other Puerto Rico and United States ERISA attorneys, and we strive to ensure that our clients get full value for our services. We are comfortable handling projects on a fixed fee basis and giving upfront fee quotes, and we always discuss our fee arrangements openly and honestly with our clients and prospects before each engagement. We realize that the foundation for a long-lasting relationship with our clients is treating them fairly.
BenefitsPuertoRico.com is headed by Carlos Gonzalez, Esq., a leading authority in benefits and compensation in Puerto Rico, with thirty years’ experience in the field. We have offices in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Atlanta, Georgia. Our presence in both jurisdictions allows us to stay abreast of practical developments regarding benefits and compensation programs in Puerto Rico and the United States and provides us the flexibility to meet frequently with our clients at their Puerto Rico and/or United States offices and facilities. We strongly believe that oftentimes the best ideas result from a good face-to-face conversation, so we like to be where our clients are.
Accurate practical advice, value, and timely service; that is what we strive to deliver every day.
