Employee Benefits and Fiduciary Matters at Miller Shah

We handle a ride range of issues involving employee benefits and fiduciary compliance, helping employers compliantly offer meaningful benefits like 401(k) plans, health insurance, and disability insurance, among others.  We also support employees seeking to restore benefits they have been wrongfully denied.  We offer experienced counsel in the following practice areas:

ERISA Compliance and Litigation

Miller Shah has devoted years to enforcing the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). This federal law regulates employer-sponsored benefit plans, including pensions, 401(k) plans, health benefits, and more, requiring that such plans operate in the best interest of employees. 

Our attorneys have substantial experience representing retirement plans and their beneficiaries to ensure plan fiduciaries live up to ERISA’s requirements. Whether cases involve breaches of fiduciary duty or procedural missteps, Miller Shah has the resources to ensure plan sponsors fulfill their legal obligations. 

401(k) Fee Litigation

A pivotal tool in securing employees’ financial futures, 401(k) plans are one of the most meaningful benefits an employer can offer. However, employers who sponsor retirement plans often face scrutiny regarding plan expenses, particularly administrative and investment fees. Improperly managed expenses can lead to liability and unnecessary financial strain on employees. 

Miller Shah has cultivated a national reputation for its success in 401(k) fee and gatekeeper litigation. We have consistently prevailed on behalf of retirement plan beneficiaries in high-stakes cases where other firms struggled. Our in-depth knowledge of plan governance allows us to scrutinize plan activities, protect against undue financial burdens, and ensure plans are managed prudently.  We bring this same expertise to advising plan sponsors, helping fiduciaries implement best practices. 

Delinquent Contributions to Benefit Plans

Miller Shah has a deep history advocating on behalf of unions, which has led to significant expertise addressing delinquent contributions in Taft-Hartley plans and other multi-employer benefit arrangements. When employers fail to contribute to these plans as required, it compromises the financial stability of beneficiaries. Miller Shah’s attorneys provide robust legal strategies to protect plans and their participants, working to recover funds owed for the benefit of employees.
