Investment Litigation: Fees & Investments in Defined Contribution Plans
Friday, June 8, 2012
9:30-10:30 am ET
The past several years have seen an explosion of litigation challenging the selection of 401(k) investments, and the monitoring of fees in individual account/401(k) plans. Litigation has also challenged the prudence of investments that perform substantially below their benchmarks, such as various bond funds during the financial implosions in 2008, while the prudence of various target-date funds and default investment funds have also been challenged.
Ethical Considerations in ERISA Litigation
Friday, June 8, 2012
4-5 pm ET
Plan Sponsors (employers and boards of trustees) can have multiple roles in connection with the employee benefit plans they have established. Employee Benefits attorneys often face many vexing ethical issues that arise from conflicting loyalties when dealing with plan-related issues. This session will focus on key ethical rules and principles that should be considered by ERISA practitioners, including a discussion regarding how multiple representation is possible, how to determine who the client is and what role the client has when advice is sought, and whether the advice requested is given in particular situations is privileged.
