The Fourth Edition supplies complete analysis of the developments in heavily litigated areas such as standard of review, preemption, fiduciary duties, pension plan investments, and retiree welfare benefits, as well as of cutting-edge problem areas such as privacy, contingent workers, managed care, and RICO. The treatise takes into account changes in pleading requirements as a result of the Supreme Court's decision in Ashcroft v. Iqbal; the availability of remedies after CIGNA Corp. v. Amara and LaRue v. DeWolff; factors applicable to the determination of attorneys' fees after Hardt v. Reliance Standard Life Insurance Corp.; the appropriate standard of review after MetLife v. Glenn and Conkright v. Frommert; and the proliferation of mutual fund fees cases and class actions.

The treatise is co-authored by experienced ERISA attorneys, with significant input from ERISA specialists who are some of the leading ERISA litigators in the nation. It also covers critical information on remedies, exhaustion of internal remedies, proper parties, fiduciary status, and 401(k)/employer securities litigation.
