Employment Law 360 story on five ERISA cases to watch at the Supreme Court and U.S. Courts of Appeals in the second half of 2019 includes Dan Feinberg’s comments on Dorman v. Schwab, about the limits on mandatory arbitration for ERISA claims.
Dan notes that “one of the reasons Congress enacted ERISA was to enable plan participants to gain access to the federal courts to address breaches of fiduciary duty.
