WELCOME to the Law Firm of Mets Schiro & McGovern, LLP |
|||||||||
ERISA / Work Fund — Mutli–Employer Benefit Plans Mets Schiro & McGovern provides counsel and advice to multi-employer benefits plans governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and, when necessary, pursues the interests of those Plans in federal court. Whether it’s initiating a collection action against a delinquent employer, enforcing the findings of a detailed fund audit, or defending the Trustees’ interpretation of the plan documents in court, Mets Schiro & McGovern has the knowledge and experience to successfully handle a wide array of matters in this complex and ever-changing area of law. Perhaps in no other area of law is having effective counsel more important than in the administration of employee benefit plans. Federal law imposes upon Plan Trustees a fiduciary duty to protect the assets of plan and to exercise the duties of their office reasonably and responsibly. Those who violate this duty through inadvertence or neglect face the specter of personal liability for the loss of plan assets, conceivably in the millions of dollars. Having experienced Fund counsel who are knowledgeable in the intricacies of employee benefits law is imperative in order for Plan Trustees to properly discharge their responsibilities to the plan, its participants and beneficiaries. Mets Schiro & McGovern is committed to protecting not only the integrity of theses plans, but also the men and women who voluntarily undertake the weighty and vital role of Plan Trustee. This is best accomplished by taking a proactive role in Fund affairs – getting involved in the decision-making process of the Trustees at an early point in time to ensure compliance with all statutory and regulatory aspects of benefits administration. In doing so, Mets Schiro & McGovern seeks to minimize the possibility of litigation against the Fund and its Trustees, thereby reducing legal and administrative costs and providing a value-added service to our clients.
