This complimentary webinar will build upon Carol Buckmann’s popular Pensions and Benefits Law blog series on U.S. fiduciary duties, which includes insights on the inadvertent fiduciary, the reckless fiduciary, the ambushed fiduciary and the mistaken fiduciary.

The presentation will discuss long-standing and developing law in these all-important areas:

  • Are you a fiduciary? Corporate v. fiduciary activities and how the courts may be blurring the distinction
  • Do your vendors have fiduciary responsibilities too?
  • Adopting good plan governance practices – what the best committees do
  • How much can I delegate?
  • Limits on fiduciary liability and how fiduciary liability insurance works
  • When to consider hiring independent fiduciaries
  • Changes the U.S. Department of Labor and the S.E.C. are considering

For our Canadian participants, partner Louise Greig will provide insights on the differences between U.S. and Canadian law, helping you to manage Canadian and cross-border pension responsibility.
