Overview
Drawing on decades of experience, Faegre Drinker litigates virtually all types of ERISA matters, from benefits claims to class actions alleging complicated fiduciary breaches to seminal Supreme Court cases. Our attorneys — including several nationally recognized authorities and former high-ranking government officials — are at the forefront of ERISA thought leadership. Three of our partners “wrote the book” on the topic, the Handbook on ERISA Litigation, and we are frequent contributors to the firm’s ERISA-focused blog, “Spotlight on Benefits.” We have compiled an enviable record of success in complex, high-stakes litigation involving health, welfare and retirement plans on behalf of service providers and insurers. In addition — and as further evidence of the respect accorded us by ERISA professionals and practitioners — we frequently author amicus curiae briefs on behalf of leading industry trade associations in addressing the most important ERISA and class certification issues in appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
