A complimentary seminar presented by Thompson Hine LLP for ACC Southwest Ohio
Fiduciary litigation under ERISA continues to expand, and plan sponsors need to keep pace. Join us in person for a session that cuts through the complexity and gives you practical takeaways for managing fiduciary risk across both retirement and health plans.
We'll start with a grounding in ERISA's fiduciary framework and the core obligations applicable to benefit plan fiduciaries. From there, we'll trace the arc of 401(k) fiduciary litigation and highlight the governance practices that have emerged in response. We'll also explore emerging theories of fiduciary liability targeting health plans, including claims involving prescription drug costs and PBM arrangements, and discuss developing strategies for managing litigation and compliance risk.
Featured guest Jody Erickson, in-house counsel, will share firsthand insights on how she navigates these fiduciary challenges within her own organization.
