Legal Decisions Challenging Benefit Plans!

Case Law & Legislation Review 

 

Plan sponsors, administrators, employers and boards of trustees of benefit plans are challenged today in ways not seen in the past.  The issues seem more complicated as an increasingly diverse workforce demands expanded coverage and challenges conventional plan limitations.  Litigation, human rights challenges and labour arbitrations are on the rise and it is important for plan sponsors to understand their exposure.

 

Hugh Wright, McInnes Cooper   will review recent decisions and legislation impacting employee benefit plans.  You will leave this session with an understanding of the potential impacts these decisions have on your plans and tips to consider for mitigating the risk of legal challenges!
