Both Erisa Attorneys and Employee Benefits Attorneys focus on laws governing employee benefit plans, including ERISA regulations. While their roles overlap significantly, Erisa Attorneys often specialize specifically in ERISA compliance and litigation, whereas Employee Benefits Attorneys may handle broader benefits issues, including retirement and health plans. Understanding these nuances helps clients find the right legal expertise for their employee benefits needs.
As an ERISA attorney, your responsibilities are to understand how the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) impacts benefits for employees and help your clients remain in compliance with ERISA and related laws and regulations. Your job duties include drafting plan documents and amendments for pension and health insurance benefits and protecting your clients from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or Department of Labor. Lawyers can also represent employees claiming benefits under ERISA. The qualifications for a career as an ERISA attorney include a law degree, experience with the health insurance industry, and strong research and writing skills.
We are looking for an ERISA Attorney to join a collaborative federal litigation practice in San Diego, with a national law firm.
This role offers meaningful responsibility from the outset, with the opportunity to work on a focused caseload involving both class actions and individual plaintiff matters. The position is well suited for an experienced ERISA lawyer who wants hands-on litigation work, direct access to firm leadership, and a path toward increased case ownership over time.
Responsibilities:
• Manage an initial docket of approximately three to four active matters involving ERISA-related disputes, including both class-based and single-plaintiff cases.
• Prepare a wide range of litigation documents, including complaints, written discovery, dispositive motions, and substantive legal briefs.
• Conduct and defend depositions while developing factual records that support case strategy and advocacy efforts.
• Represent clients in mediation proceedings and contribute to negotiation strategy aimed at resolving disputes effectively.
• Handle hearing appearances and present arguments before the court in connection with ongoing litigation matters.
• Support all phases of trial preparation, including witness coordination, exhibit review, case analysis, and pretrial filings.
Perks of Firm:
· Well know plaintiff employment firm with notable verdicts.
· A hands-on managing partner. Feedback is that he’s responsive, personable, welcomes questions, and is easy to work with.
· Low volume of cases.
· Opportunity to be managing attorney on cases (after ramp up period).
· Weekly Wednesday lunches as a firm.
· Multiple bar association events the firm hosts/attends.
· Summer party and year-end party.
· Quality benefits and unlimited PTO.
• At least 3 years of legal experience, with a strong background in ERISA-related litigation.
• Active license to practice law in CA.
• Demonstrated experience drafting motions, briefs, pleadings, and discovery materials in civil litigation matters.
• Working knowledge of employment law, federal law, and employee benefits matters under ERISA.
