Notwithstanding the pandemic, ERISA litigation continues to hit 401(k) plan sponsors and other plan fiduciaries.  In this webinar, the panelists will discuss recent lawsuits against plan fiduciaries and/or plan service providers, including claims involving actively managed target date funds, retail share class funds, managed accounts, participant data, and cyberbreaches.  They will also discuss the impact of such litigation on plan fiduciaries and service providers.  Our panel will also cover updates on litigation over plan provisions requiring arbitration of ERISA claims and setting a deadline to bring ERISA claims.
