Helping New England Clients Protect Their Pensions

You work hard for many years with the expectation that your pension will continue to support you after you retire. You count on your pension, so if your employer has made unauthorized changes to it or caused it to suffer losses, you need an experienced ERISA lawyer to help you protect it.

Attorney Jonathan M. Feigenbaum, Esquire, has devoted years of legal practice to helping Boston area employees protect their pensions under ERISA. If you think your pension funds may have been mishandled, or if your employer has told you it is terminating the plan, we can help.

ERISA: Intended to Protect Pension Benefits for Employees

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) regulates how employers and other ERISA fiduciaries handle employees' retirement benefits. This federal law was originally enacted to protect employees' benefits. While the law has been reinterpreted to protect insurance companies, ERISA still offers important protection for retirement benefits, whether under traditional defined benefit plans or direct contribution plans, such as 401(k) plans.

ERISA was designed to offer protection for employees' pension benefits. It is a highly complicated and often contested law, and an experienced ERISA attorney can help correctly explain it to you. Mr. Feigenbaum can examine your claim to determine if you are receiving appropriate pension benefits, as well as pursue litigation in state and federal courts on your behalf if you are not.

Helping Employees Protect Their Pension Benefits

ERISA protects employees' retirement benefits and pension from employer mismanagement and breach of fiduciary duty. We can help you protect your pension from mismanagement, such as the following:

• Your employer, union or other ERISA fiduciary does not notify you of changes to your effective date or the amount of your pension plan.
• You are not notified in a timely way that a pension plan is terminating.
• The plan fiduciary unwisely invests and loses part or all of your pension or employee retirement funds.

Employers, unions or plan fiduciaries must notify employees about any changes that affect their pension plans. Mr. Feigenbaum can evaluate your case to help you determine if your pension was mismanaged or paid incorrectly.
