Shrinking union rolls and bankruptcies of contributing companies to multiemployer pension (MEP) plans have sharply lowered funding, pushing many of the country’s 1,400 MEPs to the brink of insolvency.

As a result, participating employers are faced with rapidly increasing liabilities. Our pension and benefits strategy team helps employers better understand the risks associated with continued participation, the tools available to manage those risks and other operational considerations related to plan participation.

Combining the resources of a full-service global law firm with the in-depth experience of our team—which includes the former assistant chief counsel and the former deputy assistant general counsel of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC)—we assist participating employers in MEPs across a range of sectors. Our practice represents clients in numerous industries, including construction, retail, hospitality, energy, manufacturing, transportation and entertainment.

With an inside perspective on the workings of key regulatory bodies, our team:

  • Represents clients in cutting-edge benefits and withdrawal liability disputes.
  • Provides counsel on issues including labor and collective bargaining strategy.
  • Advises on liability risk management, plan design and corporate transactions.
