Scott Landau Speaks at Retirement Symposium

Winston & Strawn partner Scott Landau was a panelist at the “Retirement Symposium: Fiduciary Best Practices to Mitigate Plan Sponsor Risk and Education Plan Participants in Achieving Retirement Readiness” on April 30, 2015. The conversation, hosted by WeiserMazars LLP and co-sponsored by Winston & Strawn, reviewed best practices to mitigate risk in the current retirement plan litigation environment.

Specific topics discussed at the Retirement Symposium included:

• Best practice governance: Implementing a prudent process and transparency controls for effective governance of retirement plans
• Forensic fee benchmarking and performance analysis: How plan sponsors can facilitate retirement readiness and prepare employees for their life beyond retirement

Based in the firm’s New York office, Mr. Landau concentrates his practice in employee benefits, employment, and executive compensation matters. He represents private equity clients and public companies in acquisitions, divestitures, and restructurings within the U.S. and cross-border.
