I dunno, I just fealt i was a place providing legal help, information, and advice to the general public. Possibly a site to be used as a legal resource for business professionals and the average person to help interpret the law?
i respect your perspective, but the disclaimer clearly states it is for getting opinions for general purpose, and the forum implies in legal topics…. Those opinions shared by a few were to get other opinions;). All good i appreciate the people who gave their actual opinion of the material in...
That being said going to your url and the member is something the member is made aware of, and you do not get prior consent to have that document delivered electronucally via your intranet to them via browser correct? The action of navigating to the document is them giving consent on your fund...
I ask strangers because this is a forum and i interpreted as a place to ask opinions such as if I was a client and paid you, would your legal opinion be this is a way of delivery that would meet regulations.
Dol has said they accept that as an acceptable delivery method, but they stated they...

I concur 100% on that, but the forum is to get legal opinion;) whether legal opinion one way or another is ever factored into a discussion outside here or decisions is unknown, but personally i want to know and understand if legal advice is to keep that layer of separation firm because it...
Is this a reference to the seemingly frequent DOL inquiries, or am I missing how the fund being Taft Hartley effects whether it is a good practice to ensure that we keep a buffer layer and avoid having a direct fund representative also attend these meetings? Issues we have had have never been...
No, im asking if when dealing with an agency such as the Department of Labor, should you keep a layer of separation, or should someone accompany our representation in order to gauge and not be dependent on our attorney being the only one in the room having discussions. Basically i prefer to be...
Trying to gauge an issue. Traditionally when a matter arises with an agency such as the DOL, we have our representation be an attorney as our one and only sole single liaison, no company representation is ever present besides the single attorney. Also like any decent attorney ours figures...
