ERISA Litigation

About

Provided by McDermott Will & Emery LLP

We have a purpose-built and stand-alone ERISA Litigation practice, as distinguished from firms which undertake ERISA disputes on an ad hoc basis.  We have invested heavily in creating an independently successful team, with the ability to attract clients on both their reputation as thought leaders and highly successful trial lawyers, and deep body of ERISA trial experience.

We are genuine market leaders in ESOP Litigation and our team has unparalleled experience litigating ESOP cases nationwide and defending clients in DOL investigations and IRS audits.  We are trailblazers with demonstrated commitment to creating novel and efficient solutions for our clients in ESOP disputes. We obtained precedent-setting court rulings through litigating the highest-profile ESOP cases that presented first-impression questions of ERISA interpretation.  

We are one of the few law firms in the USA with an experienced and multi-disciplinary ERISA Investigation Task Force. We help clients navigate investigations of fiduciary practices by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Internal Revenue Service, and U.S. Department of Justice.  We differentiate ourselves from peers, in that we can pair ERISA specialist litigators with specialists focused on compliance with a wide array of legal subjects.  We bring value to our clients by supporting their strong recordkeeping and culture of self-regulation, which is crucial in the current regulatory climate.
