Join ERIC and Epstein Becker Green along with a special guest from Miller & Chevalier for Our Benefits Litigation Update Conference Call
The latest issue of the Benefits Litigation Update reviewing the latest developments in key litigation matters is posted below. This edition also includes a guest article on ERISA preemption from Anthony Shelley of Miller & Chevalier.
The courts continue to decide a wide range of benefit disputes, which greatly impact plan sponsors and fiduciaries. In this upcoming Benefits Litigation Update we discuss:
• Latest developments in ERISA preemption;
• Status of recent litigation under the Affordable Care Act;
• Fourth Circuit’s imposition of a greater burden of proof on 401(k) fiduciaries for lack of “procedural prudence”;
• First Circuit’s award of “interlocutory” attorneys’ fees to plaintiff prior to final determination of the claim;
• Firestone v. Bruch type deference when fiduciaries allegedly breach their duties;
• The EEOC challenges to wellness programs;
• The obligation to disclose plan-imposed time limits in benefit claim denial letters; and
• The inclusion of selection-of-venue clauses in ERISA plans.
ERIC staff and senior counsel from Epstein Becker Green and Miller & Chevalier will discuss on the conference call the key issues summarized in the Update and answer any questions you may have regarding these cases and issues.
The Benefits Litigation Update conference call will be held on Wednesday, December 10, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm (EST).
We hope you find the latest issue of the Benefits Litigation Update interesting and informative when you receive it and will join us on the conference call.
