Zuckerman Spaeder attorneys Peter R. Kolker and Steven N. Herman successfully defended an individual in an ERISA action in which a paid pension plan administrator was charged with breach of fiduciary duty and faced multi-million dollar claims. The culmination of this contentious three-year litigation was a bench trial before Judge Peter Messitte in federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland. Judge Messitte granted the defense motion for judgment as a matter of law exonerating our client of all liability. The case was Plasterers Local Union No. 96 Pension Plan v. Harold Perry, et al (Case No. PJM 06 CV 338).
