As co-chair of the firm’s Professional Employer Organization group, Ian focuses on the diverse legal needs of the dynamic PEO industry. While supporting small and mid-sized businesses with HR solutions, PEOs take on the role – and the risks – of managing employee benefits, payroll and regulatory compliance. Ian’s experience and knowledge of the complexities surrounding workers’ compensation laws and their impact on the PEO business model, including the distinct ways states handle the issue of workers’ compensation coverage for non-leased employees, enable him to provide strategic solutions to the unique challenges his PEO clients face.
