About Lau & Lau Associates

Founded in 1940 in Detroit, Michigan by Donald F. Lau, Lau & Lau Associates has been serving the needs of both businesses and individuals for more than 65 years.

Our principal business aim is to provide the highest quality comprehensive financial and employee benefit planning services and corresponding competitive products to our clients, based on a thorough understanding of each client’s needs, objectives and circumstances. Specifically, our expertise lies in the following areas:

  1. the development of business plans relating to executive compensation and retention, business succession, risk management, and qualified and non-qualified accumulation plans;
  2. the design and implementation of employee benefit plans, with emphasis on cost containment and employee incentive; and
  3. personal financial and estate planning for individuals, including estate preservation techniques, accumulation plans, personal risk management, and coordination of financial resources and programs.

To accomplish this objective, we are deeply committed to the development of a long-term, personal relationship with each client.

We must clearly understand each client’s objectives and resources in order to provide effective financial strategies. We must continually respond to changes in the client’s situation and objectives and/or changes in the benefits, financial and tax environment.

A constant awareness of the employee benefits marketplace is essential to provide effective advice on competitive plan design. Our services often include market research, comparison and analysis designed to help the client reach important benefit decisions.

To maintain the highest level of knowledge and creativity, we are committed to the allocation of both time and resources to ongoing education and professional development of each of our staff members.

In order to provide comprehensive and diversified services to our clients, we rely upon a network of professional affiliations which include specialized legal and tax counsel, actuarial and third party administrative services, COBRA administrators, property and casualty insurance agencies, Section 125 Cafeteria Plan administrators, and a broker/dealer providing investment products.

These long-standing relationships broaden our areas of expertise and serve as available resources for our clients.

The foundation of all of our business practices is an unwavering commitment to the highest ethical and professional standards of integrity, responsiveness and excellence.
