David Sieck

David Sieck is an Associate attorney in Fennemore’s Employment & Labor practice group who works out of the Phoenix office. His practice focuses on providing legal services to numerous joint labor-management trust funds’ employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries, including consultation, collection, and litigation services.

Prior to joining Fennemore, David represented a number of pension (including 401(k) plans), health and welfare plans, and apprenticeship plans. He works in-depth with the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), the Internal Revenue Code, the Taft-Hartley Act, relevant state statutes, and the related administrative regulations. David advises plan sponsors and fiduciaries on all aspects of plan governance and administration, including governmental compliance, and  has experience in both federal and state courts.

Born and raised in Spokane, Washington, David considers himself a counselor at law. He’s comfortable in a room with the labor trustees of the union on one side, and management trustees on the other – and he has the ability to understand, relate to and speak to both sides in a meaningful way that solves problems and finds solutions. This passion for insurance, employment and labor law, and all things ERISA and Taft-Hartley-related serve David well, and he enjoys the mix of transactional and litigation work needed by his clients – with an eye towards constantly improving and learning more.
