After an eleven-day bench trial in January 2023, the N.D. Ill. delivered a full defense verdict in March 2025 in an ERISA class action brought by participants in Segerdahl Corporation’s ESOP. The court rejected the class claims against Segerdahl, its ESOP trustee GreatBanc Trust Company, and various individual defendants including board members Bob Cronin, Rod Goldstein, and Peter Mason, alleging that Segerdahl could have sold for a significantly higher price, which would have increased post-sale distributions to the ESOP participants. Winston earned an Am Law Litigator of the Week Shout Out for this win.
