Amicus Briefs
This page is currently under construction.
The Council regularly files amicus (“friend of the court”) briefs in federal courts, providing the perspective of employer plan sponsors in legal cases where the outcome represents an important precedent and has a significant impact on employee benefits policy. These briefs bring to bear the Council’s extensive experience and legal expertise to support arguments preserving the voluntary employer-sponsored benefits system.
For more information on the Council’s amicus brief program, contact Jan Jacobson, senior counsel, retirement policy, or Kathryn Wilber, senior counsel, health policy, at (202) 289-6700.
