We work for a large portion of our lives, and there are a lot of facets to employment law because of this. Of them, retirement law tends to be most complicated and disputed. Employers may try to violate acts such as ERISA, but there are federal laws setting minimum standards for health plans and pensions. Lawyers are here to defend the things you’re entitled to, and provide protection for individuals in these plans.

ERISA Litigation

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) is a retirement plan for employees, and it requires participants to be provided with plan information. This information includes all features and funding. In addition, ERISA sets a minimum for participation, vesting, benefit accrual, and funding. The application of fiduciary responsibilities to retirement plans gives participants the right to sue when necessary, including grievance and appeals processes. For defined benefit plans, ERISA guarantees payment of certain benefits through the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). The PBGC is a federally chartered corporation, which ensures your benefit payout.

Employee Benefits

Employee benefits concern the different types of retirement and welfare benefit plans under ERISA. ERISA is regulated by the Employee Benefits Security Admin (EBSA), and is for single-employer, multi-employer, and collectively bargained pension plains. With regard to compensation, attorneys tend to negotiate relevant employment agreements and meet with committees in control of rules and disclosures. When necessary, employee benefit law may involve bargaining with labor unions, trustees, or service providers. Benefit law concerns the planning, drafting, and updating of retirement plan documents. We prosecute and defend a wide spectrum of fiduciary duty claims on behalf of employees’ benefit plans.
