CHICAGO (September 20, 2011) — Seyfarth Shaw is pleased to announce the launch of the firm’s new Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) & Employee Benefits Litigation blog. The blog is a resource for employers that provides timely legal updates to C-suite executives, corporate in-house counsel, and employee benefits and HR professionals concerned about the continuing and expanding threat of ERISA and employee benefits litigation, including fiduciary breach litigation, retiree health care litigation, plan terms litigation, and non-ERISA based employee benefits litigation. This new tool will provide up-to-the-minute information on the latest legal trends and cases, as well as important thought leadership and resource links and materials.

The blog reports on current topics driving legal developments in this field, including recent court decisions. Whether it is a class action challenging 401(k) plan investment costs and strategy, a drop in company stock price, a change in health insurance benefits for retirees, or the design of a pension plan — ERISA and employee benefits class actions pose bet-the-company risk.

The team of Seyfarth bloggers is made up of experienced ERISA and employee benefits litigators from the firm’s dedicated ERISA & Employee Benefits practice group and brings to the business community thought leadership on cutting edge ERISA and employee benefits litigation with the goal of providing employers with the tools necessary to reduce their potential exposure.
