Fiduciary Liability

Cope Ehlers’ attorneys provide guidance and support to insurers in addressing claims involving all aspects of fiduciary liability risks, including ERISA compliance, administration of health and retirement benefit plans, computational responsibilities and matters of investment judgment. The firm’s attorneys have extensive experience in assessing coverage, working in tandem with the insureds’ defense counsel, whether appointed or independent, and reaching satisfactory resolution of fiduciary liability claims, whether they involve individual beneficiary claims or class action litigation. As fiduciary liability claims often involve acts that implicate insurance coverage under other types of insurance policies, such as those affording directors and officers liability and employment practice liability coverage, our deep experience with respect to those types of insurance policies is particularly advantageous in handling claims involving overlapping risks.
