We routinely advise clients on fiduciary compliance under ERISA and applicable state law, providing advice to governmental and non-governmental entity plan committees.
We assist clients in preparing documentation to accurately define their fiduciary or non-fiduciary status, and to limit the scope of their potential fiduciary liability. We also assist with developing services, programs, service agreements, disclosure documents, and marketing materials that are consistent with the client’s fiduciary status and services. We regularly advise on the DOL’s fiduciary rules and fee disclosure regulations.
