Are you up to speed on the legal and practical issues that need to be addressed when negotiating service provider agreements for retirement plans under ERISA? During PLC’s free webinar, take an hour to learn practical negotiating tips from experts, including an analysis of the most heavily negotiated provisions, the impact of recently enacted final regulations under ERISA Section 408(b)(2) and more. This program will cover:
- Selecting an ERISA plan service provider.
- Negotiating the services agreement, including a discussion of:
- The appropriate scope of services and allocation of responsibilities.
- Consideration of whether the provider is a fiduciary under ERISA and, regardless of the answer, the related standard of care.
- Handling new compensation and fee disclosures under ERISA Section 408(b)(2).
- Common approaches to negotiating indemnification and limitation of liability provisions.
- Routine contract provisions that require special attention under ERISA, such as termination provisions, electronic communications, and bonding and insurance provisions.
- Monitoring the service provider.
