ERISA Litigation

Expert guidance, excellent results.


ERISA demands expertise. We have it.

Effective ERISA litigation requires a thorough understanding of a complicated statute coupled with top-notch litigation skills. Our ERISA practice, which is one of the largest in the country, provides both. We’ve handled cases in a wide array of federal courts and arbitration proceedings and some of our attorneys have served as expert witnesses.

We combine practice groups to form the best team.

Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney combines its comprehensive ERISA regulatory practice with its outstanding labor law and litigation practices to provide a deep ERISA litigation bench. We’ve represented employers, fiduciaries, service providers and multiemployer trust funds in a broad range disputes, including many that arose in the context of collective bargaining, such as claims concerning:
  • Fiduciary status
  • Compliance with fiduciary duties
  • Misrepresentations
  • Plan and SPD conflicts
  • Benefits denials
  • Plan amendments and cutbacks
  • Trust fund audits and contributions
  • Pension plan withdrawal liability and mass withdrawal liability
