Anatomy of an ERISA Lawsuit

In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about the anatomy of an ERISA class action lawsuit. He explains that attorneys often scrutinize IRS Form 5500s for high fees and underperforming investments. If issues are found, former employees may become named plaintiffs. After a complaint is filed, a motion to dismiss is typically the first defense. If this fails, discovery involves extensive document exchange. Eric emphasizes the importance of detailed meeting minutes and a thorough review of all plan documents and documents that represent a fiduciary process for plan compliance.
