31st Annual Employee Benefits Seminar, Davis Wright Tremaine, Seattle

This year, we explored the past, present and future of ERISA in the context of how it impacts the operation of your retirement and health plans today. We discussed design opportunities for your 401(k) and defined contribution plans; Supreme Court and other litigation that affects your plans; and, the regulatory and litigation issues that continue to arise with the implementation of Health Care Reform.
