Noted benefits attorney Henry Smith of the law firm of Smith & Downey describes A Guide To ERISA Fiduciary Responsibilities as "an invaluable resource for anyone interested in an introduction to -- or "a deep dive" into -- the various rules that must be considered by persons responsible for or operating ERISA-governed retirement plans." And that "ERISA plan fiduciaries would be well advised to use the book not only as a training or refresher tool but also as a diagnostic checklist to confirm that their current fiduciary procedures are at the best practice level."
