Message from the Firm
By Joe Faucher
Many clients prefer not to deal with
litigation attorneys until they absolutely
must. We’ve learned not to take this too
personally. Until it becomes a necessity to speak to us,
we’re happy to share some thoughts
about risk avoidance, risk management
and fiduciary responsibility.
In this newsletter, we discuss how plan
fiduciaries whose plans were adversely
attacked by the Madoff scandal
should be responding. Then, Fred Reish
describes the types of increasing claims
against investment advisers and offers
some practical pointers for avoiding
and management those claims.
In our last article, we address the
difference between ERISA fidelity bonds
and fiduciary liability insurance, and
discuss why you may need insurance
even if you are not required to have it.
Our employee benefit attorneys—
including our ERISA and employee
benefit litigation attorneys—are here
to help whether you have been sued,
are contemplating suing or just want to
know how to manage your business to
minimize risk and expenses. We look
forward to hearing from you.
