Pension Reform, Litigation and Governance

Managing Risk in Uncertain Times

Thursday, February 23 to Friday, February 24, 2012
Marriott Bloor Yorkville, Toronto, Ontario

Ongoing Reforms - Groundbreaking Case Law - Rapidly Evolving Issues with Respect to Defined Contribution Plans:

Get the Essential Strategies and Information You Need to Minimize Your Risk

Pension law continues to be in a state of flux. The Industry’s focus has shifted from discussing and anticipating the unprecedented number of pension reforms recently undertaken by all levels of government, to ensuring compliance with the regulations enforcing the reforms that have finally been, or are soon to be, released. In addition, courts continue to release decisions that re-define accepted practices, and tumbling bond yields continue to hammer the balance sheets of pension funds. Now, more than ever, it is critical that you stay on top of the issues in order to minimize your risk and avoid costly litigation.

At The Canadian Institute’s 13th Annual Advanced Forum on Pension Reform, Litigation & Governance you will hear from top experts in pension law and governance who will explain the latest changes and provide practical solutions for dealing with their impact. Ensure you have the tools you need to meet your professional obligations and to minimize your organization’s, and your own personal, risk of liability. This intensive two day conference will insure you have the information you need on the most important and up to the minute developments in the area, including these hot topics:

  • The very latest in pension law reform, including Ontario’s new marriage breakdown rules and Grow-In benefits
  • The real impact of the Indalex decision and its affect on credit financing
  • Minimizing risk and developing effective communication strategies in administering DC plans
  • What lies ahead in potential litigation? – The U.S. experience
