Mr. Gregory is an Associate in the firm’s Troy office. In his practice, he advises clients on all aspects of employee benefits including qualified retirement plans, welfare plans, and nonqualified compensation programs. He assists clients with plan design, drafting, and implementation of 401(k), profit sharing, 403(b), 457, and defined benefit plans. Mr. Gregory also provides advice on the design, implementation, and administration of insured and self-insured medical plans, dental plans, life insurance, disability, and cafeteria plans, including pre-tax premium plans, and flexible spending account plans.
Mr. Gregory is a member of the Taxation Section of the State Bar, where he serves as the Chair of the Employee Benefits Committee.

The “2017 Up & Coming Lawyers” will be honored at an annual luncheon and awards celebration on December 7, 2017 at the Detroit Marriott in Troy.
