Career
Adrienne Scerbak is an experienced ERISA attorney whose practice is focused on Title I of ERISA and the investment and management of employee benefit plan assets.
She advises equity, real estate, and hedge funds, collective investment trusts and financial institutions on ERISA’s fiduciary rules and the prohibited transaction rules under both ERISA and related regulations under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.
She counsels fund clients on achieving and maintaining “operating company” status under the plan assets regulation or restricting benefit plan investor interests so that funds are not deemed to be “plan assets” under ERISA. She has also advised pension plan fiduciaries on their duties under ERISA, particularly with respect to alternative investments.
