31 in-house counsel, DOL, and top outside counsel will help you avoid poor & inconsistent drafting, design, implementation, and administration of employee benefit plans.
Employee benefit plans and the laws that govern them are inherently complex and constantly evolving. Add to the mix recent corporate scandals, major bankruptcies, and a volatile stock market, all resulting in billions of dollars in retirement plan losses,
and it has never been more vital for in-house counsel and outside counsel for plan fiduciaries, sponsors, administrators, advisors and insurers to avoid poor or inconsistent drafting, design, implementation, and administration of employee benefit plans.
However, having good, accurate and consistent employee plan documents is vastly easier said than done. In keeping the language in employee benefit plans “up to snuff,” counsel for companies, plan fiduciaries, sponsors, administrators, advisors and insurers face a distinct uphill battle, including:
- Incomplete/missing/inconsistent documents
- Document provisions not aligning with actual plan administration
- Document slippage – issues that arise when a plan’s operating procedures and/or its administrative documents drift from the official plan document
- Improper delegation of decision-making authority
....Just to name a few
As a result of this uphill battle, there is simply no room for error when it comes to minimizing the increased litigation risk in this high stakes arena. Following the great success of ACI’s ERISA Litigation conference in October, we are proud to introduce an event focused on the front end preventive aspects of employee benefits law: ACI’s National Advanced Compliance Forum on Minimizing Legal Risks in the Design, Implementation & Administration of EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. Through a faculty of more than 30 distinguished in-house counsel, the DOL, and top outside counsel, this conference will provide even
the most seasoned employee benefit lawyers with clarity and certainty with respect to today’s key risk minimization issues.
