Simpson Thacher litigation partner Jonathan K. Youngwood and litigation associate Hiral D. Mehta recently authored an article entitled “New Plausibility Standard Impacts Pleading in Employee Benefits Cases” that was published in BNA, Inc.’s Pension & Benefits Daily in April 2010. The article addresses the plausibility standard under recent Supreme Court cases and how the application of this standard affects pleading in ERISA-related litigation.
