Fox Rothschild’s national ERISA Litigation team includes experienced and well-regarded ERISA litigators and employee benefits counselors — located throughout the U.S. — who work closely with plan sponsors, fiduciaries, third-party administrators and insurance companies to mitigate litigation risk related to employee benefit plans and, when necessary, defend clients against individual and class action lawsuits.

Businesses, as well as their boards, executives and human resources departments, face increased scrutiny of their management of employee benefits such as pensions, 401k and other defined contribution plans and health insurance plans. Members of our national ERISA Litigation team work together with employers to help them communicate effectively with their workforce, understand their insurance coverage options and develop strong risk mitigation plans.

“Standard approach” is not part of our vocabulary. We provide custom solutions that facilitate compliance with the complex web of ERISA mandates, taking the time to tailor our advice to our clients’ business objectives, corporate culture and the needs of their workforce.

When litigation arises, we vigorously defend our clients against a full range of actions, including 401(k)/403(b), health care, disability and other benefits plan claims, breach of fiduciary duty litigation, lawsuits brought against employers by trustees of multi-employer pension plans, excessive plan fee cases and ERISA “stock drop” class action lawsuits involving Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) and 401(k) plans.

In addition, we represent clients in investigations and regulatory actions taken by the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) and the Office of the Solicitor of the United States Department of Labor (DOL) as well as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC).

Fox has ERISA Litigation attorneys throughout the United States, including in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas.
