Since ERISA's enactment in 1974, Miller & Chevalier has represented insurance companies, employers, fiduciaries, plans and participant associations in complex ERISA litigation matters. The firm's experience in ERISA litigation runs the gamut, including breach of fiduciary duty and prohibited transaction claims, ERISA class action lawsuits, subrogation and reimbursement matters, challenges to benefits denials, litigation against both the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), and litigation arising in the intersection between ERISA and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Additionally, we have represented our clients in a wide range of agency actions, including DOL investigations and audits, and appeals before the PBGC. Our team also has significant experience in the area of federal preemption of state laws under ERISA and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Act (FEHBA), the federal law that governs the health care of federal government workers.
Our team includes former DOL staff uniquely situated to understand the enforcement perspectives of that agency, as well as lawyers who began their career dedicated to ERISA litigation and trial lawyers who have developed extensive experience in ERISA matters. Clients hire us for our deep experience, our ability to handle the most complicated matters and our record of achievement. They choose us because we are incisive strategists and devoted advocates seeking to solve their problems.
