Lessons learned from recent employee benefits litigation

With employee benefits litigation on the rise nationwide, plan fiduciaries are increasingly on the hot seat to ensure they understand and fulfill their fiduciary duties, including their obligations to protect against fraud, cybertheft, improper investment offerings, plan service provider malpractice, and unreasonable fees.

During this complimentary webinar, McAfee & Taft employee benefits attorney Brandon Long  highlights several high-profile benefits cases that have made their way through the federal courts recently — many of which involve claims against retirement plan fiduciaries — and explains what plan sponsors and fiduciaries should take away from these decisions.

The presentation also includes a review of a lawsuit pending before the U.S. Supreme Court that potentially affects sponsors of prescription drug benefits in more than 40 U.S. states and the role that McAfee & Taft has played in this highly consequential ERISA preemption lawsuit.
