Position

Neil V. Shah is a member of Proskauer’s Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation Group, where he focuses on ERISA litigation.

Neil represents some of the largest multiemployer pension plans in withdrawal liability and delinquent contribution matters.  These matters include challenges to the plan’s assessment and calculation of withdrawal liability, as well as offensive actions to enforce the plan’s rights to collect these amounts from employers and their affiliates.

Neil also represents plan sponsors in ERISA class actions alleging that the plan’s investments or other practices are imprudent, such as excessive fee and stock drop cases.

Prior to joining Proskauer, Neil was an associate at a large regional firm, where he litigated individual and class actions involving challenges to insurer claims adjudication procedures under ERISA, fraud recoveries against healthcare providers, and claims for benefits.

Neil has authored several articles, including those published in the New Jersey Law Journal and Bloomberg National Affairs. He is also a frequent contributor to Proskauer’s Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation Blog
