ERISA
Attorneys in this practice group have substantial experience defending corporate and insurance clients in litigation under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) in multiple jurisdictions throughout the country. These claims can range from the relatively straightforward case asserted by a single individual plaintiff to a complex putative class action. Our attorneys routinely assist clients with denial of benefit claims under 29 USC § 1132(a)(1)(B), breach of fiduciary duty claims, and equitable relief claims under 29 USC § 1132(a)(3). We also regularly handle ERISA interference claims that often run concurrently with employment discrimination claims.
