Kutak Rock attorney Michelle Ueding presented at the Midwest Regional ESOP Conference on September 10, 2015. The topic was “Becoming an Effective Administration/Fiduciary Committee: what to ask, what to know, what to document.”

Ueding provided guidance for new and existing Administration/Fiduciary Committees to identify their roles and understand how to address their responsibilities, including developing annual meeting agendas, incorporating DOL guidance and recent Supreme Court decisions into these agendas, and maintaining ESOP compliance and fiduciary responsibilities.

Ueding is a partner in Kutak Rock’s Omaha office and a member of the firm’s Employee Benefits Practice Group. She concentrates her practice primarily on qualified plans, deferred compensation plans and ERISA issues relating to these arrangements. She assists clients with plan design, due diligence, fiduciary duties, administration, investment review, disclosure requirements, drafting plan policies and administrative procedures.
