A successful defense begins with smart strategy

Our dedicated group of nationally recognized ERISA litigators handles the full spectrum of ERISA lawsuits across the U.S., including many high-stakes, complex class actions. Our clients include plan sponsors, plans, fiduciaries, trustees, directed trustees, and plan service providers. We bring energy and creativity to the defense of these matters, and our lawyers have prevailed in many landmark decisions on behalf of our clients. We are equally focused on developing creative strategies to resolve claims swiftly and on favorable terms.

Our teams practice almost exclusively in ERISA litigation. Together, we have addressed virtually every significant litigation-related issue that has arisen since the statute was enacted.

We have also represented clients in numerous investigations by the Department of Labor and other agencies, frequently helping avert lawsuits.
