The Wagner Law Group is proud to share that Anthony G. Provenzano has joined the firm’s Washington, D.C. office as Partner. Tony is an outstanding attorney with a breadth and depth of experience in ERISA and employee benefits and executive compensation that will serve as an invaluable resource to our clients. We are delighted that he is joining us.

Tony is a trusted counselor to both public and private companies for compensation and benefits issues. His practice focuses on tax, ERISA, and other laws impacting executive compensation and employee benefits, as well as the employment tax and reporting issues that arise with respect to such arrangements. He routinely advises clients on the various rules regarding non-qualified, equity, and tax-qualified arrangements, and the related employment tax and deduction issues. In addition, Tony’s practice includes transactions and controversy matters involving IRS, DOL and PBGC examinations and disputes.

Tony’s extensive experience in executive compensation and employee benefit matters allows him to advise clients on the broader legal implications of such arrangements and how various benefit regimes may interact. His experience in handling controversies involving split-dollar arrangements, deferred compensation programs, mispriced stock options, and qualified plans, also helps clients understand how plan language may be viewed by a government examiner or a participant asserting a claim. Clients quoted by Chambers have described Tony as “very thorough and very knowledgeable of the tax code.”

Tony is frequently asked to speak on executive compensation matters, including deferred compensation and the attendant payroll tax and reporting, the deduction limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), defending against IRS executive compensation and employment tax audits, and IRS guidance on correction of failures under Code Section 409A arrangements. He is admitted to practice law in Washington, D.C. and New York.
