Narrative Biography: A veteran litigator with deep regulatory expertise, Michael Khalil focuses his practice at the intersection of ERISA, federal securities laws, and the investment management industry. Mr. Khalil provides sophisticated and pragmatic counsel to employers, investment advisers, and plan service providers on ERISA’s requirements, including with regard to questions and controversies involving ERISA’s fiduciary standards, prohibited transaction provisions, and plan design. With his 1940 Act expertise, he is uniquely qualified to help both fiduciaries and funds navigate the risks and opportunities arising from the expansion of ERISA plan assets into private markets. Mr. Khalil steers financial institutions through the complexities of ERISA and the securities laws when designing products for, and providing services to, retirement plans and ERISA funds. He leverages his years of successful litigation expertise and DOL enforcement experience to ensure that representation is both pragmatic and value-driven.

Immediately prior to joining Pierson Ferdinand, Mr. Khalil was Senior Counsel in the SEC’s Division of Investment Management Rulemaking Office, where he acted as lead counsel on regulations involving registered insurance products, private fund exemptions, and amendments to Reg S-P, and offered advice on regulatory priorities, including expanding retail access to private assets and potential amendments to the fund cross-trading rule. Mr. Khalil also served as a Litigation Counsel and Senior Trial Attorney in the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of the Solicitor, leading high-priority ERISA litigation and advising EBSA on enforcement policy. Prior to his public service, Mr. Khalil was a member at Miller & Chevalier Chartered, where he served as Vice-Chair of the firm’s Employee Benefit practice, and an associate at Sutherland, Asbill and Brennan (n/k/a Eversheds Sutherland).

ERISA Litigation

Mr. Khalil has nearly twenty years of experience representing plan sponsors, fiduciaries, financial service providers, and insurers in a wide variety of ERISA litigation in federal trial and appellate courts. As a Litigation Counsel in the DOL’s Plan Benefits Security Division, Mr. Khalil supervised a diverse portfolio of ERISA litigation involving complex financial transactions and novel pension and health plan issues. Mr. Khalil advised EBSA regarding enforcement policy and regulatory proposals, and directed pre-litigation assistance to EBSA regional offices in connection with ongoing investigations involving potential violations of ERISA’s fiduciary, disclosure, prohibited transaction, and parity provisions. Prior to his time in public service, Mr. Khalil spent more than a decade representing clients in complex civil litigation on an array of matters arising under Titles I and IV of ERISA and the Affordable Care Act, obtaining successful results for his clients in federal trial courts and courts of appeals, frequently in cases involving novel claims. His broad expertise includes DOL investigations, MHPAEA issues, and ERISA litigation involving fiduciary breach claims, ESOPs, excessive fee claims, Title IV/PBGC matters, and health care claims.

ERISA Counseling

Mr. Khalil advises plan sponsors, investment advisers, and financial service providers on ERISA fiduciary issues and prohibited transactions, as well as matters respecting plan design, governance, administration, and investment issues including with regard to navigating novel complexities associated with investing ERISA plan assets in private markets. Mr. Khalil also has particular expertise in helping plans comply with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act incorporated into ERISA, having spearheaded parity enforcement and guidance arising from amendments to ERISA’s MHPAEA provisions, and helping launch EBSA’s Mental Health Parity Task Force. Mr. Khalil prides himself on listening to his clients and leveraging his expertise as a counselor, litigator, and regulator to provide them with value-driven, practical solutions.

Asset Management

Mr. Khalil leverages his years as a Senior Counsel at the SEC to advise sophisticated funds and investment advisors on issues arising under the Investment Company Act of 1940, including regulatory compliance matters, rulemaking, registration, exemptive relief, and assisting with examinations. While at the SEC, Mr. Khalil played a pivotal role in crafting novel regulations providing a tailored registration and disclosure framework for offerings of registered index-linked annuities. He led regulatory reform resulting in the expansion of private funds’ ability to rely on the 3(c)(1) private fund exemption for qualifying venture capital funds. Mr. Khalil was also a lead counsel driving the SEC’s 2024 amendments to Reg S-P and has worked with industry to facilitate their compliance efforts by speaking on numerous compliance outreach panels and responding to implementation questions. Additionally, Mr. Khalil advised the Division of Investment Management about a host of regulatory priorities, including expanding retail access to private assets, and potential amendments to the fund cross-trading rule and fund proxy rules. Having acted as the Division of Investment Management’s liaison to DOL on matters crossing regulatory regimes, Mr. Khalil uses his unique expertise to help firms and fund boards navigate the complexities of the 1940 Act and ERISA as they look to bring private-market products into the retirement space.

Narrative Biography: Spotlight
Wind blowing . . . . sun shining . . . . the distinctive heavy purr of a Harley Davidson engine ringing in the air. This is not a painted image of a leisurely Sunday afternoon drive through the Appalachians. It’s a snapshot of Su Ross heading home from an American Bar Association or other conference . . . . through the Appalachians. Harley Davidson enthusiasts come from all walks of life and Su loves the reaction she gets when people discover she’s one of them.
Su lives by the creed embodied in the famous quote from the legendary motorcycle company, “When writing the story of your life, don’t let someone else hold the pen”. She and her husband, with whom she enjoys these road trip adventures, have clocked thousands of miles traversing the country doing just that. Su regularly speaks at legal and trade association conferences throughout the United States, and enjoys adding spice to the journey by flying to the selected location and returning home on the back of their HOG.

A recent survey of in-house General Counsel surfaced the top 3 issues keeping them up at night . . .cybersecurity, cybersecurity, cybersecurity - to no one’s surprise. With an increasingly threatened business atmosphere, companies must contend with challenges ranging from threats to breaches to communication of attacks to liability exposure, all the while making sure the company keeps operating its primary business functions as profitably as possible. While we finally have federal legislation on this critical topic and it is too early to tell what impact that law will have, the greatest movement continues to come at the state level and in the courts. Understanding the myriad implications to your organization is mind boggling. Having come to cybersecurity issues as early as 2002 when supply chain security programs were being rolled out in earnest, Su has been tracking the developing landscape since its infancy and regularly speaks at conferences and writes articles, making her among the foremost professionals on the topic. We have rapidly seen the barriers to threats dissipate. No one and no company remains safe. The scale, sophistication, and frequency of cyberattacks is outpacing the ability of companies to respond. Data security, notice to consumers, shareholder and class action lawsuits, insurance coverage, disclosure requirements to the SEC for public companies, government agency enforcement, cross-over issues to other regulatory matters, employment law considerations . . . the issues requiring attention are extensive and complicated, and Su works regularly with clients as they respond to the daily threats facing their organizations. The nature of this representation includes adding to the defense team any desired information technology and public relations experts, with the goal of the team to assist in assessing, minimizing and reacting to cybersecurity intrusions, including dealing with how best to interface with government investigators and disgruntled employees.

Representative Matters: Represented a non-US manufacturer of a product on which antidumping duty as high as 234.51% was imposed if made in China. The domestic industry sought to convince both the International Trade Commission and the International Trade Administration that China was the origin of the goods.
