Hertz Schram was founded in 1979 on the principle of providing bold, forward-thinking and uncommonly creative legal representation. Over the years, we have put this principle into action both locally and throughout the United States.

Our national experience has led to us handling not only individual claims, but also a variety of class action lawsuits related to allegations of ERISA violations. We have handled a dozen class actions around the country involving pension plans including several sponsored by Fortune 500 companies, including AMOCO, Georgia-Pacific, U.S. West, GTE and Tyson Foods.

We handle cases involving pension plans (see our pension article), as well as ERISA actions concerning health and welfare benefit disputes and other employee benefit disputes, including:

• Deficient pensions payouts during the pendency of the plan or upon its termination
• Issues concerning eligibility for pension benefits
• Preemption issues arising under ERISA
• Fiduciary duties owed plan participants by plan administrators and other plan fiduciaries
• Disability benefits

To strengthen our representation in ERISA retirement benefits cases and related matters, we frequently work closely with accountants and actuaries that specialize in these types of cases. Our team members regularly consult with the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Treasury to improve our legal strategies.
