About Dave Fournier

I\'m an employee benefits attorney with over a decade of experience helping organizations navigate the complexities of ERISA, executive compensation, and multiemployer benefit plans. I work closely with employers to ensure their benefit programs not only meet legal and regulatory requirements but also align with strategic organizational goals. I counsel plan sponsors on the governance, design, and administration of their benefit plans, ensuring compliance and fiduciary best practices. My background spans law firm and consulting roles, allowing me to bring a unique blend of legal insight and business acumen to every engagement. I’ve had the privilege of: • Advising employers on executive compensation arrangements and non-qualified deferred compensation plans. • Reviewing collective bargaining agreements to assess potential withdrawal liabilities. • Representing boards of trustees in ERISA-related litigation. • Delivering presentations to educate clients and colleagues on the nuances of benefit plan compliance. Passionate about simplifying complex legal frameworks, I aim to provide clear, actionable advice that mitigates risk and maximizes value for my clients. With a strong foundation in ERISA, I’m committed to supporting organizations in creating and maintaining benefit plans that foster employee well-being and long-term success. Let\'s connect if you\'re looking for insights into benefit plan compliance, executive compensation design, or strategies to manage fiduciary risk.
