Event Synopsis:

The complexities of the latest Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) claims and the stakes involved for all parties are remarkably high. There are significant differences involved in defending against these claims and in the types of emerging cases. It’s completely apparent that defense and management of these complex claims are an uphill battle for businesses and in-house counsel. Recent Supreme Court ERISA cases will likely have a significant impact on litigation trends in 2017 which underscores the need for businesses to secure full knowledge of the laws and regulations to be able to avoid future ERISA litigation risks.

In this Live Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of the fundamentals as well as the potential trends in ERISA Litigation in 2017 and Beyond. The speakers will also provide expert thoughts and opinions to help the audience adapt to the intricate environment of ERISA Litigation.
