A Closer Look at Excessive Fee Litigation Webinar

May 17, 2021

Join us on May 26th – 2:00 – 3:00 PM (EST)

Register for our Live Webinar here.

 

Plaintiff law firms are terrorizing plan sponsors of many of America’s largest defined contribution plans – filing class actions lawsuits against plan fiduciaries that seek tens of millions of dollars in damages and attorney fees for purportedly breaching their fiduciary duties in overpaying recordkeepers and investment managers. Euclid Specialty’s Daniel Aronowitz will examine the recent surge in excessive fee litigation. Euclid will take a deeper dive into the complaints being filed and how courts have responded. We will raise critical questions to better analyze these cases and help plan sponsors prepare a more effective defense.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Are the Plaintiffs right? Are the recordkeeping and investment fees of large defined contributions in America too high?
  • What about your plan? How would a plan sponsor know if their plan’s administrative and investment fees are too high?
  • Burden of Proof: What burden of proof should be necessary before a plaintiff firm can file an excessive fee lawsuit and subject a plan sponsor to expensive litigation? How does that compare to the standard of proof that the plaintiffs’ bar is using to file these cases?
  • Motion to Dismiss Standards: How are courts responding to Motions to Dismiss? What is the proper standard for reviewing a Motion to Dismiss and dismissing meritless cases?
  • Damage Models: What are appropriate damages for alleged excessive fees, and what is the liability of the recordkeeper and investment managers?
  • How do Plan Sponsors Fight Back – What should plans do to dismiss meritless cases? Do Plan Sponsors need a more effective defense strategy? What can plan sponsors do to lower their risk of excessive fee litigation?
