“When Congress passed the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) more than 30 years ago it recognized the importance of proper benefit plan administration for ensuring that participants receive their promised benefits. Having been amended numerous times since then, the law is now a complex web of statutory, regulatory and court interpreted provisions. This requires close attention to detail in order to effectively represent the client.”
