· In re Qwest Savings and Investment Plan Erisa Litigation, Case No. 02-RB-464 (PAC) (D. Colo.) (J. Blackburn). The firm is currently serving as Plaintiffs’ Counsel in a class action brought against Qwest Communications International and its officers and directors. This action was brought on behalf of all participants and beneficiaries of the Qwest Savings and Investment Plan, a 401(k) plan operated and established by Qwest, and alleges breach of fiduciary duty and violations of ERISA disclosure requirements. The suit alleges that plan restrictions deprived Plaintiffs of control over their plan assets, forcing Plaintiffs to concentrate their assets in company stock. Moreover, Plaintiffs could not exercise independent control over their plan assets due to improper influences and/or concealed materials and non-public facts regarding certain investments.
