Portland, Ore., January 2, 2018 -   After a regional search, Bullard Law is pleased to announce the addition of Jason W. Douthit to the firm. He brings experience, professionalism and a desire to serve clients that complements the existing Employee Benefits Practice Group which includes Kara Backus, Thomas Kramer and Victoria Macpherson.

Jason works exclusively in the area of employee benefits. He enjoys explaining the tax code and other retirement plan law to clients, and finding simple solutions to complex problems. He believes that the purpose of ERISA is to balance the goals of employers with the retirement and health insurance needs of employees, and appreciates working with employers to meet both aims.

“Jason has in-depth experience working with clients on the compliance and design challenges that come with sponsoring defined-contribution and pension plans," said Kara Backus, Shareholder at Bullard Law who also specializes in Employee Benefits.  "Because of his background at an actuarial firm, he also brings a unique and valuable perspective on the financial aspects of many retirement and health and welfare benefit plans.”
