Lawyer's Role in Challenged ESOP Transaction May Have Caused Him to be an ERISA Fiduciary
Robinson+Cole LLP 
May 15, 2017 "Evolve Bank & Trust was hired as an independent transaction trustee when the Plan purchased stock from Vinoskey at an allegedly significantly inflated price.... [It] appears that [attorney Michael New] was not acting in his capacity as an attorney or as counsel for Evolve or Sentry, but rather only as an employee employed as a fiduciary. Therefore, it is likely that New's status as attorney was not the critical factor; had a non-attorney filled New's role for Evolve and taken the same action, the court likely would have still found him to be a fiduciary." [Hugler v. Vinoskey, No. 16-0062 (W.D. Va. May 2, 2017] MORE >> |
