ERISA Fiduciary Law provides a sophisticated analysis of fiduciary topics that covers ERISA, the IRC, Department of Labor (DOL) regulations, and the federal courts. The treatise includes analysis from several of the country's most prominent ERISA practitioners—including cites to hundreds of relevant cases—and gives practitioners every research advantage concerning the multitude of fiduciary responsibility issues.

In discrete, stand-alone chapters, ERISA's complex fiduciary rules are carefully explained, summarized, and examined. This treatise discusses the intricacies of ERISA fiduciary law, lays out in an easy-to-read format the multitude of regulatory requirements, explains the relevance of the most significant prohibited transaction exemptions—both individual and class, and describes the many complex rules governing ESOPs.

The 2011 Cumulative Supplement includes a new chapter on ERISA issues related to private equity and hedge fund investments. It also examines:

• The Supreme Court's decision in Amara v. Cigna and its impact on Summary Plan Descriptions and expanded Section 502(a)(3) equitable claims
• New fee disclosure regulations
• Fiduciary issues under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)
