Morgan & Morgan Is Seeking an ERISA Class Action Attorney

At Morgan & Morgan, the work we do matters. For millions of Americans, we are their last line of defense against insurance companies, large corporations, and institutions that too often prioritize profits over people. With over 6,000 employees united by a single mission — For the People — we are one of the nation's largest and most recognized plaintiff-side law firms.

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.

Morgan & Morgan is a leading personal injury law firm dedicated to protecting the people, not the powerful. This success starts with our staff. For full-time employees, we offer an excellent benefits package including medical and dental insurance, 401(k) plan, paid time off and paid holidays.
