Ryan Wheeler, an associate in our Employee Benefits/ERISA practice, has been invited to speak at Practising Law Institute’s (PLI) ERISA Fiduciary Investment Basics 2025 on March 18 at 2:00 PM EDT.

Ryan’s panel program, titled “Fundamentals for 401(k) Plan Fiduciaries” will discuss key definitions and fiduciary concepts that apply to defined contribution plans (e.g., 401(k) plans) where the participant is responsible for directing investment of his or her account.

After attending this session, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the basic fiduciary responsibilities in the context of a 401(k) plan
  • Identify how participant direction of account investments can limit fiduciary responsibility
  • Recognize the key areas of possible fiduciary liability exposure (including recordkeeping and other fees)
