In this program, Eversheds Sutherland attorneys Issa Hanna, Carol McClarnon and Mark Smith provide practical steps to consider prior to the DOL’s Fiduciary Rule proposal becoming final in the coming months.  

Practical steps include: 

  • Setting up a strategic plan within your organization
  • Reviewing the differences and similarities between the 2023 proposal and 2016 Fiduciary Rule, including resurrecting prior work streams
  • Evaluating potential consequences for existing compliance practices
  • Considering how the proposal coordinates with and differs from the SEC's Regulation Best Interest, Advisers Act Fiduciary Duty or other applicable standard of conduct
  • And more.
