Mayer Brown

Mayer Brown maintains a preeminent employee benefits and ERISA practice distinguished by its depth in fiduciary governance and retirement investment product design. The practice is particularly recognised for its extensive work with asset managers, banks and insurance companies on the structuring of collective investment trusts and defined contribution investment products. Practice head Maureen Gorman anchors the team from the Palo Alto office and routinely counsels on ERISA governance and regulatory audits and regularly handles benefits and compensation issues arising in complex corporate transactions. Erin Cho is a key figure in the Washington DC office and counsels plan sponsors on fiduciary governance and represents clients before the Department of Labor. Hillary August counsels plan fiduciaries on their ERISA obligations in the Chicago office.
