Introduction
My focus
I possess broad experience in navigating ERISA class actions involving employee stock ownership plans at dispositive motion stages, class certification, and settlement under the Class Action Fairness Act.
I assist clients in responding to DOL subpoenas regarding 401(k) retirement plans, and defend clients against allegations of breaches of fiduciary duty, excessive fees, and fund mismanagement, as well as represent clients in fee disputes involving multiple employer plans.
I leverage my experience with complex trial and appellate litigation and responses to government investigations to be a formidable advocate for my clients.
Looking ahead
With ERISA class action filings on the rise, fiduciaries to an ESOP transaction should keep regulatory developments regarding adequate consideration top of mind at both the federal and state levels.
