合夥人

Jeremy P. Blumenfeld represents defendants on a range of employee benefit litigation matters, including numerous Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) class actions. Co-chair of the firm’s ERISA litigation practice, Jeremy’s experience includes defending class action claims challenging the administration of 401(k) savings plans, stock drop litigation involving 401(k) savings plans, cash balance and other defined benefit plans, and employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) and traditional severance pay plans. He also advises clients on litigation and risk avoidance.

Plan sponsors and fiduciaries approach Jeremy for representation in defending against lawsuits challenging plan investments, plan design, alleging misrepresentations, and other benefit disputes.

Colleagues have dubbed him a thought leader for his client-centric approach in challenging ESOPs, defined benefits plans, cash balance plan design, disclosure, and the legal challenges presented by “whipsaw” claims. He often speaks to a variety of audiences on employee benefits topics and ERISA litigation.
