Jones Day

Jones Day's ERISA litigation practice is skilled in handling bet-the-company benefits related litigation, with the team being on the forefront of novel issues, such as challenging the long-standing practice of how some unions defined benefit pension plans to calculate liabilities for employers that ceased contributing to these plans. Both Evan Miller and Miguel Eaton were instrumental in the matter, with Miller experienced in litigating employee benefits issues on behalf of corporate plan sponsors and multi-employer plan contributors, while Eaton specializes in aiding clients with employee benefits issues that present significant business challenges. Kevin Noble advises clients on employee benefit plans and the employers who sponsor them, including resolving issues connected to legacy liabilities that are present within benefit plans, as well as corporate finance issues. All lawyers mentioned are based in Washington DC.
