Services for ERISA Attorneys and Your Retirement Plan Sponsor Clients

Fiduciary Risk Management, LLC (FRM) announces its services to the ERISA legal community. These services offer exceptional value for your retirement plan sponsor clients who want to increase their fiduciary protection. They are also an exceptional value to you and your clients when looking for truly independent and experienced services. FRM focuses on:

  • Conducting a thorough fiduciary review: investments, plan fees, fiduciary exposure, operations, service provider actions and overall plan governance
  • Serving as an independent ESOP or company stock fiduciary

  • Analyzing fee charges, finding areas for improvement and negotiating fees on your client’s behalf. We dig into the non-disclosed areas to identify the real expenses your clients are paying.

  • On-going presence and monitoring to ensure continued protection.
  • You/your clients get an important defense against plaintiff litigation: the outside professional assessment and independent fiduciary oversight + independent legal opinion of highly respected ERISA attorneys.
  • Improved relations with your client’s employees and mitigation of any potential negative media exposure.
  • Truly independent and expert witness services performed by industry insiders.

Rapid Response Team

Our Annual Fiduciary Program Report is designed to put any fiduciary issues that arise to rest quickly for our clients. However, we realize that sometimes, even with the best efforts, plan sponsors may face further investigation proceedings. For these situations, we have devised a solution to respond to the defense of the plan sponsor rapidly to minimize the potential damage.

Our “Rapid Response Team” is led by the Director of Audit & Litigation Support, Barry Frankel, and incorporates the collaboration effort of multiple ERISA professionals. It takes several building blocks to effectively support complicated ERISA cases and FRM has diligently assigned industry experts to deliver perspectives from each critical aspect.

The FRM Rapid Response Team supplies the necessary building blocks to provide the support your case requires:
