Paul Fokken with 401(k) Maneuver Discussing How Employers Can Reduce Risk of 401(k) Lawsuits and Fines

According to Bloomberg Law, “More than 180 lawsuits challenging 401(k) plan fees have been filed in federal courts since 2020. About 20 of these cases have settled so far with settling employers. Some of those recent suits include excessive record keeping and investment fees, breaching fiduciary duties, and self-dealing, to name a few.  In addition, businesses have been levied fines for late/incomplete Form 5500 forms which are required for ERISA 401(k) plans.

Paul Fokken discusses the importance of fiduciary governance and what it means to be a prudent expert. He goes on to explain how employers have options to help reduce company and personal liability.  He also comments on ways to reduce employer plan responsibilities thus enabling owners to focus more on the growth of their business rather than worrying about potential lawsuits and fines with their existing 401k) plan.
