About the Program

While the ERISA legal landscape changes constantly, one thing is certain – California remains a harbinger of litigation trends soon to spread nationwide. From the statutes and laws under which ERISA cases are brought to novel venue shopping tactics, employers across the US watch California as a proving ground for new litigation strategies. 

So what does that mean for California employers, and employers across the country keeping an eye on California? Join our experienced attorneys as they navigate these trends in the ERISA Litigation landscape, including:

  • Provider litigation developments such as preemption cases and the rise of Knox-Keene Act cases, 
  • Welfare and pension issues, including use of forfeiture, 
  • Discovery issues at trial, and 
  • Lessons learned from removal and questions of venue.
