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.

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
