About Brian
Biography
I am an attorney who handles issues related to fiduciary liability and whose practice focuses primarily on retirement plans including both defined benefit plans (e.g., traditional pension plans, cash balance plans and variable annuity plans) and defined contribution plans (e.g., ESOPs, 401(k) plans and 403(b) plans). I frequently provide fiduciary training to the administrative and investment committees of ERISA employee benefit plans.
I am a certified Professional in Human Resources (PHR).
I am admitted to practice before the U.S. Tax Court.
I am a member of the Board of Directors of the International Primate Protection League (IPPL).
