Fiduciary and ERISA Consulting

Plan fiduciaries, such as trustees, plan administrators, benefit and investment committees, and company officers and directors are governed by strict and complex ERISA rules and Department of Labor regulations.

We have experience in assisting clients in managing proper corporate and plan governance as well as compliance with the fiduciary requirements for plan investment and administration.

Our goal is to help our clients fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities, serve their employees well, and avoid litigation and other claims.

Some of the legal issues we have advised on include:

• Compliance with ERISA fiduciary rules
• Compliance with ERISA reporting and disclosure requirements
• Investment of plan assets
• Selection of investments for self-directed plans
• Prohibited transactions
• Trust agreements and custodial arrangements
• Use of plan assets to pay plan expenses
• Selection and monitoring of service providers, such as trustees, record keepers, investment consultants, and investment managers
• Negotiation and preparation of agreements with service providers
• Fiduciary audits
