Episode 62: The Supreme Court Weighs in on Withdrawal Liability
Last month, Proskauer secured a unanimous victory at the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of the Trustees of the IAM National Pension Fund. In a 9-0 decision authored by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Court resolved a circuit split concerning how multiemployer pension plans calculate the liability of withdrawing employers. In this episode of the Proskauer Benefits Brief, Neil Shah is joined by John Roberts, who argued the case before the Court, to discuss the Court’s rejection of the Second Circuit’s timing rule, the reasoning behind the opinion, and the implications for multiemployer pension plans, employers, actuaries, and future withdrawal liability disputes.

Episode 61: DOL Issues Proposal on Alternative Assets in 401(k) Plans
In this episode, Justin Alex and Adam Scoll discuss the U.S. Department of Labor’s recently issued proposed regulation regarding ERISA fiduciary duties in selecting designated investment alternatives offered under participant-directed defined contribution plans, such as 401(k) plans. They examine the parameters of the proposal’s safe harbor, which reinforces ERISA’s focus on process over outcomes and highlights six key factors for fiduciary consideration when selecting designated investment alternatives. The proposal is designed to facilitate the inclusion of alternative assets within designated investment alternatives.

Episode 60: Private Investment Funds and Withdrawal Liability
In the next episode of our ongoing series on withdrawal liability, Neil Shah and Justin Alex are joined by Adam Scoll to explore how the withdrawal liability of a private investment fund’s portfolio company can extend to the fund itself (and potentially others). They discuss the “trade or business” and “common control” tests, the impact of the Sun Capital and Longroad decisions, and how fund structure, governance, and fee arrangements can influence exposure. The conversation also highlights practical considerations for diligence, deal structuring, and risk management, and why active oversight and ownership levels can have unintended consequences for funds and their advisors.
