EBG joins two of its strengths, litigation of employee benefit issues and the defense of class actions, when called upon to defend class actions brought under ERISA. When changes in the content or administration of pension or benefit plans generate disputes, many participants and beneficiaries will be affected and ambitious plaintiffs' counsel will seek to represent them all. EBG offers the comprehensive talent resources necessary to create the right defense team, headed by attorneys experienced in litigating ERISA issues in a class action environment and supported by specialists, whether those issues focus on ERISA's fiduciary duty requirements, benefit denials, or any of the many arcane provisions of the law. EBG's experience and depth allow it to manage the complex discovery process effectively, to pursue early resolutions (by motion or negotiation, as client needs dictate), and to resist class certification successfully.
