    2025/04/03
    Could your company be blindsided by an ERISA lawsuit? Join us as we sit down with Jen Berman from MCQ Consulting, who gives us the scoop on a groundbreaking case involving JP Morgan.

We chat about the essentials of proving harm and the indispensable role that documenting decision-making processes plays in shielding your company from legal trouble. Jen dispels myths surrounding fiduciary responsibilities, asserting that ERISA principles are more than just legal requirements—they're best practices for any organization. Don't miss out on these valuable perspectives that could arm you against the mounting challenges in benefits compliance.
