As a partner at Sidley Austin LLP, I advise pension plan investors and investment managers regarding legal issues relating to various investment products, including the product’s fee arrangements and related party transactions. I assist investment managers, insurance companies and other financial institutions with structuring different types of alternative investment vehicles to be offered to ERISA plans, including hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate funds and bank collective investment trusts. I also advise pension investment staff and pension investment committees with legal review of proposed investments and the drafting and negotiation of investment management agreements, consulting agreements, side letters, recordkeeping agreements and other service provider contracts. In addition, Beth provides support to the firm’s litigators in ERISA fiduciary duty and 401(k) fee lawsuits. Specialties include ERISA investment matters, defined benefit pension plans, 401(k) plans, ERISA structured finance matters, pension risk transfers and stable value products.
