Partner Mark Boyko Quoted in Law360 on Significant Decision Denying Arbitration in Favor of ERISA Plaintiffs

Mark Boyko, partner and member of the Bailey Glasser ERISA practice group, was interviewed by Law360 on the biggest ERISA decisions so far in 2023. Boyko noted Harrison v. Envision Management Holding Inc. Board et al., a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, will have a far-reaching impact in protecting workers from abusive arbitration provisions designed to undermine their rights under ERISA.

Mark Boyko, partner and member of the Bailey Glasser ERISA practice group, was interviewed by Law360 on the biggest ERISA decisions so far in 2023. Boyko noted Harrison v. Envision Management Holding Inc. Board et al., a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, will have a far-reaching impact in protecting workers from abusive arbitration provisions designed to undermine their rights under ERISA.

In the interview with Law360, Mark Boyko said, “[The Tenth Circuit’s ruling] affirms the notion that a plan’s arbitration provision that waives a participant’s right to seek planwide relief is inconsistent with ERISA’s statutory right for that participant to obtain that same relief.” Boyko added that the decision “preserves the status quo by holding that the remedy limitation cannot be severed from the arbitration provision.”

The ruling has already been cited as ‘persuasive’ outside the Tenth Circuit, a sign of its importance in this developing area of law. #ERISA #Arbitration #ClassActions #BaileyGlasser

BG Team Led By Brian Glasser Helps Dismiss Improperly Filed Mass Tort Bankruptcy By 3M Subsidiary Aearo Technologies

In a win for injured soldiers, a federal judge on Friday dismissed the bankruptcy of 3M subsidiary Aearo Technologies, which was attempting to use its protections to permanently resolve 260,000 lawsuits alleging that 3M military earplugs caused hearing loss for veterans and U.S. service members.

In a win for injured soldiers, a federal judge on Friday dismissed the bankruptcy of 3M subsidiary Aearo Technologies, which was attempting to use its protections to permanently resolve 260,000 lawsuits alleging that 3M military earplugs caused hearing loss for veterans and U.S. service members. This new ruling upends 3M’s litigation strategy to resolve mass tort claims in bankruptcy, which would have circumvented the ability of plaintiffs to have their cases heard by a jury of their peers as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Brian Glasser and Bailey & Glasser, LLP helped get this mass tort bankruptcy dismissed.

“The soldiers who used 3M earplugs deserve to the chance to hold 3M accountable before a jury of their peers,” said founding partner Brian Glasser. “3M and Aearo have no special right to put veterans in a bankruptcy box, and now can face these claims in front of juries around the nation.”

Additional Bailey Glasser lawyers working on this matter include partners Cary Joshi, David Selby, Katherine E. Charonko, and Todd Mathews.
