$45 Million Pension Settlement

Attorney Chris J. Trebatoski was one of the attorneys handling a lawsuit brought by Milwaukee County against its actuarial firm related to the Milwaukee County Employees’ Retirement System. The dispute arose over the County’s allegations of professional negligence by Mercer, Inc., the nation's largest employee benefits firm while an actuarial consultant to Milwaukee County regarding passage of its 2000-2001 pension benefits package. The case settled after two weeks of trial in the Federal District Court of the Eastern District of Wisconsin, with Mercer, Inc. paying the County $45 million.
