Dorsey’s ERISA Litigation practice group has extensive experience representing businesses, employers, retirement and welfare plans, insurers, health maintenance organizations, and others in connection with claims for breach of fiduciary duty, claims for benefits, and other disputes arising under ERISA.. Our trial partners, drawing on the expertise of the firm’s over 20 employee benefits attorneys, have recently litigated class actions and other complex matters involving:
- 401(k) “stock drop” claims alleging in which participants allege that the company’s officers, directors and other fiduciaries should compensate them for losses when their investment in the company stock investment t option experienced a loss in value
- Claims involving an alleged fiduciary’s retention of excessive amounts for services provided,
- Claims that “employees” misclassified as independent contractors were entitled to pension and other benefits that were available only to employees
- Claims that a pension plan design violated age discrimination prohibitions
- “Reverse class action” claims that an employer was justified in modifying retiree health benefits
- Claims that mergers and downsizing decisions have violated provisions of ERISA
- Claims that employers’ administration of benefit plans (including their communications about plan benefits) have resulted in a breach of fiduciary duty
In addition, on behalf of employers, insurers and occasionally plan participants our ERISA litigation practice group has litigated numerous claims for benefits under severance, health, life, disability and pension plans.
