ERISA/Fiduciary Cases Task Force

The ERISA litigation practice group at Hunton & Williams LLP is comprised of a cross- section of lawyers in our labor & employment, litigation, and employee benefits groups, practicing in our offices across the country. We are able to provide our clients with the diverse areas of experience necessary to handle all aspects of ERISA litigation, from complex procedural issues to class action and securities issues, to sensitive labor and employee relations, and finally to the underlying employee benefit plans at issue and the complex federal rules that govern those plans. Whether our client is faced with a single plaintiff benefits denial claim or a breach of fiduciary duty multi-million dollar class action case, we can deploy the appropriate resources to deal with the matter in an efficient and comprehensive way.

The ERISA litigation group at Hunton & Williams provides that key level of depth and support. Our diverse experience allows us to provide clients with legal solutions that are informed by our experience, knowledge and history of client service. Our team has successfully defended clients in a broad range of ERISA suits, including:

  • Stock drop cases alleging ERISA fiduciary breaches
  • Class actions involving alleged ERISA fiduciary breaches and discrimination
  • Cases involving multi-employer plans, including matters arising in collective bargaining
  • Alleged wrongful denial of benefits under pension and welfare benefit plans
  • Cases raising complex medical issues, such as experimental care
  • Cases involving difficult financial issues
  • Cases involving equity compensation and executive deferred compensation arrangements
