Three plain-English signs of plan mismanagement

Excessive fees

Your plan pays materially more than peer plans of similar size for recordkeeping or investment management.

Bad investments

Core funds have trailed appropriate benchmarks for years and lower-cost alternatives were available.

Employer self-dealing

The menu is loaded with proprietary funds run by the plan's own recordkeeper or an affiliated company.

Practice Areas

Eight focused practices, one ERISA bench

From 401(k) fee litigation to pension benefit denials and emerging health-plan fiduciary claims — every case we accept is grounded in ERISA.
