10/01/14 - ERIC Legal/Litigation Call


Wednesday, October 1, 2014 (2pm - 3:30pm US/Eastern)


Call Time: 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM (EDT)

This is a member-only call.


ERIC will host a FocusOn Conference Call to update members (and trial members) on recent benefits litigation on fiduciary responsibilities, deference, and equitable remedies cases.

The call will discuss the recent decision by the Fourth Circuit on the requirements for fiduciaries when eliminating a plan investment, the Ninth Circuit’s holding on the abuse of discretion standard of review, and the principles set forth by the Supreme Court for evaluating a fiduciary’s decision to maintain an investment in company stock.

The call will also address the deference that applies to fiduciary’s decisions. The speakers will also analyze the latest equitable remedies cases and their impact on benefit plans. We will be joined by representatives of several of ERIC’s law firm members.

To register for the call, click on the "Register Now" link at the top of this page (you will need your username and password to register).

If you are a prospective member and would like to participate in the call, please contact ERIC at 202-789-1400 or e-mail: memberservices@eric.org.

The slides for this call will be posted to this site on the morning of the call.
