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.
Bailey & Glasser, LLP partner and ERISA litigator Mark Boyko was quoted in Law360 and Bloomberg Law discussing a newly-issued federal 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that may be beneficial to plaintiffs who must meet certain pleading standards to successfully pursue claims against retirement plans that breach their duties to make prudent investment decisions. As told to Bloomberg Law:
Bailey Glasser and co-counsel Robert Izard and Douglas Needham represent a pair of subclasses of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company whose pension benefits were unlawfully reduced using outdated mortality estimates. On March 20, 2023, a federal magistrate recommended that the claims proceed as a class action.
The Pension Rights Center, a nonprofit consumer organization dedicated to protecting and promoting retirement security, was designated the recipient of a $560,000 cy pres award by Bailey & Glasser, LLP.
