We proudly house a formidable ERISA Litigation practice group, with each seasoned ERISA lawyer possessing a wealth of trial experience. We advise and defend employee benefit plan sponsors, fiduciaries, and service providers in class actions, complex breach of fiduciary duty cases, and the full range of other ERISA lawsuits.
Our ERISA attorneys defend class actions challenging the prudence of 401(k) plan and 403(b) plan administrative fees and investment offerings; complex lawsuits challenging the ESOP stock-acquisition transactions; cases challenging the religious affiliation of retirement programs under ERISA’s exemption for “church plans”; claims for pension, health, and welfare benefits; cases involving claims for withdrawal liability; and other matters . We evaluate and help clients assess complex legacy benefit programs, including retiree health programs, and help sponsors navigate potential and actual litigation emanating from these programs. Our dynamic team also represents plan sponsors and fiduciaries in investigations and litigation matters brought by the U.S. Department of Labor, the PBGC, and the Internal Revenue Service.

Our comprehensive experience and unwavering dedication make us one of the leading ERISA law firms in the field.
