ERISA Litigation & Fiduciary Breach Claims

Our ERISA Litigation practice focuses on representing employee benefit plans, fiduciaries, employers, and service providers in complex, high-stakes disputes arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). We bring deep experience in both individual and class-based litigation involving plan administration, investments, and fiduciary decision-making.

​

• Excessive Fee Litigation: Defense and prosecution of claims involving unreasonable recordkeeping, administrative, and investment management fees. 

• Employer Stock & ESOP Matters: Litigation involving employer stock funds, ESOP valuation disputes, and prohibited transactions. 

• Plan Administration & Governance Issues: Disputes arising from plan operations, disclosures, conflicts of interest, and fiduciary processes. 

• Improper Benefit Calculations: Claims alleging miscalculations, denial of benefits, or failure to follow plan terms.
