What the Team is Known For

Proskauer Rose LLP fields a renowned group of litigators handling the full spectrum of employee benefits and bet-the-company ERISA litigation at an international level. The department demonstrates expertise in withdrawal liability claims, stock drop cases and fiduciary duty matters among a multitude of other contentious issues. It offers strength in fee litigation arising out of 401(k) and 403(b) plans. The group advises an impressive client base including leading financial institutions.

Work Highlights

  • Proskauer defended Wells Fargo & Company and others in the second of its kind putative class action brought by several former participants of the Wells Fargo & Company Health Plan. The plaintiffs allege that the plan fiduciaries paid excessive fees to the plan’s pharmacy benefits manager and that, in turn, resulted in participants paying higher fees for prescription drugs.
