Since its enactment 50 years ago, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) has
proven to be one of the most dynamic acts in legislative history. It quickly transformed into law
not only protections for retirement plans but also safeguards for all insured employee benefits.
It solidified the fact that insured employee benefits such as pensions, 401(k) plans, health
insurance, life insurance, and long-term-disability plans are legal contracts between an
employer and an employee. When an employee benefits dispute arises, only an ERISA attorney
can provide the most comprehensive and legally sound, experience-based approach to obtaining
for employees the insured benefits that are rightly theirs.
Employee benefits are considered a significant portion of an employee’s total compensation
program. When employee benefit claims that should be covered are denied, you have a legal case
to pursue payment. But these cases are complex, especially for claims that may run into
hundreds of thousands of dollars and threaten your or your family’s financial future – and may
even prompt thoughts of bankruptcy. In the meantime, you or your family member continue to
need covered treatment for often life-threatening physical and mental health conditions. That’s
where an ERISA attorney comes in.
General law firms, even those with a human resources or labor and employment practice, are
not well equipped to tackle case management or the regulations and nuances that cover ERISA,
a highly specialized area of employment law. J.J. Conway Law has helped clients obtain more
