ERISA Fiduciary

We regularly counsel clients in the financial services industry by advising on and negotiating investment management agreements, structuring pension plan investments to avoid ERISA where possible (using venture capital operating companies (VCOCs) and real estate operating companies (REOCs), as appropriate), and helping clients navigate fiduciary and prohibited transaction issues under ERISA when not. We also assist employers with a wide range of fiduciary and prohibited transaction issues that regularly arise in the operation of any retirement plan subject to ERISA. We routinely represent employers in Department of Labor audits of retirement plans and welfare plans.
