The employment and benefits lawyers at Aiken & Aiken are dedicated to providing their clients the highest quality legal representation in the fields of employment law and employee benefits, including current employment laws, employment life cycle issues, qualified plans, health and welfare issues, fringe benefits and executive compensation plans. 

At Aiken & Aiken, we help businesses establish and grow their companies.  We provide advice and services in the areas of employment benefits law for the purpose of protecting our clients’ interests and encouraging a positive and productive work atmosphere.  To accomplish these goals, Aiken & Aiken is committed to understanding their clients’ business operations and their clients’ vision for the future of their companies. 

We are a specialty boutique firm committed to providing our clients with personalized service through timely communication, education in current developments, and superior legal representation.  We work with our clients to provide strategic, innovative solutions to their problems in the complex areas of employment and employee benefits and the laws that govern them. 

Employers today face the daunting challenge of not only having to excel at their core competencies, but also having to keep up with the constantly changing employment and employee benefits arena to ensure compliance with a myriad of state and federal laws. 

It’s true that no two businesses are the same.  We recognize that every one of our clients is unique and each faces different challenges and desires different solutions to their specific situation.  We focus on learning a client’s business and its culture in order to provide “custom-fit” solutions. 

We believe in being proactive instead of reactive.  We work with our clients to anticipate potential problems and avoid them whenever possible.  If avoidance is not possible, we assist our clients in creating a plan of action should the potential problem become a reality.
