Unionized employers face unique challenges due to the funding and related obligations that result from their participation in multiemployer pension and welfare plans. In addition to guiding clients in all aspects of their participation in these plans, our practice counsels on minimizing statutory withdrawal liability associated with the plans in the context of an asserted claim, plant closing, workforce reduction, or business sale or acquisition. We also represent clients in disputes over ERISA Title IV withdrawal liability determinations. Further, as counsel to trustees of various multiemployer plans, we are able to strike a balance between representing management interests aggressively and ERISA's fiduciary obligations.
