A Brokerage That Works as Hard as Your Team

Brystra is an employee benefits brokerage and consultancy serving primarily white-collar employers — law firms, consulting, and financial services — from mid-market through large-group plans of 100, 1,000, and more lives. We specialize in the sophisticated funding strategies these organizations require: self-insured, captive, level-funded, and fully insured arrangements, backed by ERISA counsel, actuarial modeling, and risk analytics.

For law firms in particular, we design partner and executive benefits, non-qualified deferred compensation, and layered partnership disability structures alongside complete ERISA and ACA compliance — the deep-tier work large firms need and most brokers outsource. Now in its fifth year, our California Law Firm Benefits Benchmarking Report analyzes 100+ firms annually, giving partners legal-industry data that national brokers can’t replicate. Our advisors average over a decade of experience, and we maintain relationships with more than 140 carrier, HR, and technology partners.

Headquartered in Los Angeles and licensed across 22 states with employees nationwide, Brystra ties compensation, benefits, and people programs to the business results our clients want. When growing firms need to transition strategies, they come to us for industry-specialized support that national firms can’t match.
