Voluntary Benefits and ERISA Fiduciary Litigation: Recent Class Action Lawsuits, Next Steps for Sponsors and Brokers

Litigation attorneys Lindsey Camp and Todd Wozniak will present on a BARBRI webinar examining the recent wave of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) class action lawsuits targeting voluntary benefits programs and the resulting fiduciary exposure for plan sponsors, brokers and consultants. The session will explore emerging claims focused on alleged excessive fees and hidden costs, the growing litigation risk that certain voluntary benefits arrangements may be treated as ERISA plans, and safe harbors and exemptions that may help limit fiduciary liability. Ms. Camp and Mr. Wozniak will also highlight key case law developments and practical next steps for stakeholders seeking to reduce risk and strengthen their approach to plan governance and administration.
