About the Course

Introduction

This CLE course will provide counsel to employers that contribute to multiemployer pension plans with an in-depth examination of several recent trends related to multiemployer plan withdrawal liability. The panel will discuss recent court rulings, tips for handling withdrawal liability issues in corporate transactions, and developments related to recent legislation and associated rule-making.

Description

Employers that contribute to underfunded multiemployer pension plans face significant assessments if they withdraw from such plans. Further, corporate transactions—mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and facility closures—can all result in triggering a partial or complete withdrawal liability assessment. Adding to that risk, under ERISA, each controlled group member is jointly and severally responsible for withdrawal liability.

Recent developments in withdrawal liability legislation and litigation can instruct employers and their counsel and can serve to clarify employer and plan liabilities as well as the propriety of certain methodologies that plans have historically used to calculate employer liabilities.

Listen as our authoritative panel shares their experiences with multiemployer pension plans and explains how these recent developments can impact liability and litigation strategy for contributing employers.
