Behind every fine-print detail in a benefits plan is a potential legal challenge waiting to unfold.

This program offers a comprehensive analysis of critical employee benefits issues and the evolving legal landscape.

Participants will explore the complexities of managing a modern 401(k) plan, including fiduciary responsibilities and strategies for mitigating risk. The discussion will also address the nuances of providing benefits during leaves of absence while ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations.

Additionally, the program will examine high-stakes areas of executive compensation, with a particular focus on Section 409A compliance and the structuring of competitive packages. It will also highlight potential pitfalls associated with “nontraditional” or “alternative medicine” health plan products, which may initially save employers money but could leave employees without adequate coverage and create billing challenges or unexpected costs within health care systems.

The session will conclude with an in-depth analysis of current trends and defense strategies in ERISA litigation, equipping attendees with the legal insights necessary to navigate potential disputes with confidence.
