In one of the most closely watched cases of 2013, the Florida Supreme Court upheld legislation requiring state workers to contribute 3 percent of their pay to the state’s pension system and eliminating cost-of-living adjustments on their retirement accounts.
The Miami office of White & Case represented the state on appeal. The court’s 4-3 decision in the pension case garnered significant attention because it affected more than 600,000 state workers, including teachers, firefighters and police who bitterly opposed the changes to the Florida Retirement System.
