Investments
A company’s decision to implement an employee benefit plans necessarily involves a decision
about investing the assets used to fund the plan. While Greensfelder attorneys
do not provide investment advice, we often provide advice as to the legality of
a particular investment and the methods of avoiding fiduciary liability with
respect to the investment in a particular asset. To that end, we have
counseled numerous clients on the utilization of ERISA section 404(c) and other
methods of avoiding liability.
Fiduciary Issues
The scope of the ERISA fiduciary net is
broad and complicated. Our employee benefits attorneys understand the statutory
regulatory and case law background and have assisted hundreds of clients in
endless scenarios with respect to their responsibilities. Additionally, plans
that are not subject to ERISA nevertheless are subject to state fiduciary
responsibility. We understand these state laws.
Prohibited Transactions
We have counseled hundreds of clients on
the methods of avoiding the complications of prohibited transactions. To that
end, we have obtained individual prohibited transaction rulings, applied class
and statutory exemptions and structured transactions to avoid the penalties
associated with these rules.
