/My focus

I possess broad experience in navigating ERISA class actions involving fees, fund performance, and allocations of 401(k) forfeitures.

I assist clients in responding to subpoenas and Section 104(b)(4) requests regarding 401(k) retirement plans, and defend clients against allegations of breaches of fiduciary duty, excessive fees, and fund mismanagement. I also closely follow ERISA class action dockets nationwide and across a broad range of claims to stay on the forefront of what clients should know about ERISA litigation to stay proactive instead of reactive. Additionally, I regularly exchange knowledge with Nixon Peabody’s Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation team to tap into our range of expertise.

I leverage my experience with complex trial and appellate litigation, as well as responding to government investigations, to be a formidable advocate for my clients. I am also a passionate pro bono advocate for landlord-tenant and breach of contract disputes in the District of Columbia.

/Looking ahead

With dozens of claims regarding 401(k) forfeiture allocations filed in recent years, district courts and plan sponsors alike anticipate the first appellate decisions.
