Continuing with my countdown of my top ten most read blog posts of 2024 – as chosen by you, the reader! – leads me today to one of my favorite topics, namely the increasing targeting of small (relatively speaking) ERISA plans by class action firms bringing suits alleging that the plans were too expensive. In my ninth most perused post of last year, I discussed the similarity between these types of suits and the strike suits filed against companies that I defended in a past life as an IP litigator (I used to have more of a general commercial litigation practice, of which I would joke that one half was insurance coverage and bad faith litigation, one half was ERISA litigation and one half was IP litigation) and what we can learn from that comparison. The post was “Why Turning Excessive Fee Class Action Litigation Into More of an Insurer Managed Exposure Will Benefit Both Insurers and Plan Sponsors” and you can find it here. Hope you enjoy it.
