The Firm: Proskauer has handled a great variety of ERISA matters over the past year, and ably tackles issues of any size or import. Highlights include working with clients such as Honeywell International and Bausch & Lomb on a range of matters. The team has also handled a number of significant and successfully resolved stock drop cases. By applying a creative approach to the work at hand, the firm has maintained a good record of finding innovative solutions before and during trials.

Client Service: "There is not much Proskauer could do to improve its services – I consider it the gold standard."

Key Individuals: Howard Shapiro is held in high regard by market commentators for his excellent work in the space. He has been very active in several high-profile cases of late, including leading the representation of Honeywell International in all of its ERISA litigation matters.

Myron Rumeld is lauded as "a brilliant ERISA litigator, who is also a pragmatic problem solver and very easy to work with." His recent work includes representing Phibro Animal Health in defending a putative class action relating to its benefit retirement plan.
