401(k) Litigation
269 posts
401(k) litigation refers to legal actions brought by plan participants against employers or plan fiduciaries, typically alleging mismanagement of retirement plans. Common claims include excessive fees, poor investment choices, failure to monitor service providers, and breaches of fiduciary duty under ERISA. These lawsuits seek to hold fiduciaries accountable for decisions that may harm participants’ retirement savings. The outcomes can lead to financial settlements, plan reforms, or precedent-setting rulings that impact fiduciary standards.
