"Obtained a judgment in favor of..."

Obtained a judgment in favor of the firm’s client, the administrator of an ERISA-based health benefits plan, for a constructive trust. The ERISA-based plan required plan members to reimburse the plan when they received funds from third parties. The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois agreed that the plan administrator was entitled to a constructive trust over such amounts and granted judgment in favor of the plan administrator. The ruling is a significant, precedent-setting victory for ERISA plan administrators, who frequently face challenges when seeking such relief in the federal courts.
