Multiemployer benefit funds, on ERISA, contribution collection, and fiduciary matters.
We represent pension, welfare, vacation, apprenticeship, 401(k), labor-management cooperative committees, and other joint labor-management funds throughout the Midwest.
Depending on the needs of the individual fund, our seminars and counsel assist trustees in their compliance with the increasingly intricate provisions of ERISA and other federal laws.
We prosecute and defend a large volume of cases on behalf of our clients in state and federal courts, ranging from the collection of contributions to complex fiduciary liability cases.
We practice before the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service, and assist funds in obtaining qualification and in their dealings with these regulatory agencies.
