From Safe Harbor to Spotlight: What the $38M Pentegra Verdict Means for MEP Fiduciaries
Join us for an insightful webinar as we break down the recent Pentegra jury trial and its implications for multiple employer plans (MEPs). We'll explore why this case—unlike many others—was not dismissed at summary judgment, highlighting what made it unique and how it reflects the growing legal scrutiny around MEP fiduciary practices. Our discussion will include a close look at fiduciary duty breakdowns within MEP governance structures and offer practical compliance tips to help plan committees and business officers navigate their responsibilities with greater confidence and care.
