Morgan & Morgan Is Seeking an ERISA Class Action Attorney

We are looking for an experienced ERISA class action attorney to drive the firm's emerging ERISA class action practice.

Why This Role Is Different

If you've spent your career litigating ERISA class actions, you already have the judgment and instincts most firms spend years trying to develop. What you may not have is the freedom to use them on your own terms. We're looking for an experienced attorney ready to take real ownership: to shape strategy, set the direction of the cases you litigate, and help build a practice group rather than simply staff one. You'll bring your expertise to a firm with the resources, reputation, and national reach to go after the most complex ERISA matters in the country — with the autonomy to run them your way.

What You Will Do

  • Build and litigate ERISA class actions from the theory stage through trial
  • Collaborate with a talented team of employment and ERISA attorneys across the firm's national platform
  • Contribute to the strategic development of the ERISA Class Action practice

What We Are Looking For

  • JD from an ABA-accredited law school
  • Active bar membership in good standing in the state where you are based
  • Meaningful ERISA class action litigation experience — plaintiff or defense side — including extensive experience in breach of fiduciary duty cases involving retirement or health benefits
  • Strong litigation fundamentals: motion practice, discovery, and courtroom experience
  • A collaborative, self-directed work style with the drive to build and grow within a high-performing team

Where We Are Growing

We are actively hiring across multiple markets, including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and beyond.

An Invitation

If you've been representing plan sponsors and ever wondered what it would look like to switch sides — this is your invitation. If you've been representing plaintiffs and are looking for a platform with greater resources and reach, we want to hear from you. And if you're somewhere in between, still figuring out where your career should go next, we'd love to have that conversation.

At Morgan & Morgan, ERISA is not a niche add-on. It is a practice area the firm is committed to growing.

What We Do

John Morgan became a lawyer with a simple mission: To fight for the people, and not the powerful. After experiencing firsthand the perils of choosing the wrong lawyer and representation after his brother Tim was paralyzed, he dedicated his life to helping people so that no one should ever have to go through what his family endured. Tim was just a teenager when he was working as a lifeguard at Disney World when he suffered a spinal injury that left him confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. The Morgans made a life altering decision and they hired the wrong lawyer, who was by no means qualified to take on such a large corporation and their army of lawyers. As a result, Tim never got the compensation he deserved. This experience left John outraged and determined to level the playing field for all people who, like his brother Tim, were injured or mistreated by big and powerful corporations. John decided to become a lawyer, and the rest is history. Since 1988, Morgan & Morgan has been fighting for the people. Every client who walks through our doors is treated the same way John wished his family would have been treated all those years ago. No one, no matter who they are, or where they’re from, should ever feel powerless when fighting for the justice and compensation they deserve. With $20 Billion dollars recovered for our clients, offices across 50 states + Washington D.C. and an army of over 1,000 attorneys - we are everywhere for everyone. All law firms are not the same. There’s only one Morgan & Morgan.
