ERISA & Employee Benefits Counsel, In-House
Entrusted Advisors
Entrusted Advisors is expanding our talent bench of ERISA and employee benefits attorneys. We place experienced in-house counsel attorneys and legal professionals directly with in-house corporate legal teams across industries including energy, healthcare, technology, financial services, insurance, consumer products, and more.
We're seeing steady demand for ERISA, employee benefits, and total rewards counsel to support plan sponsors across health and welfare and retirement programs, from interim coverage to long-term secondments.
What You Will Work On:
- Plan design and strategy: reviewing proposed changes across medical, pharmacy, retirement, and leave/disability programs for compliance and risk, and advising on recommended approaches
- Plan documentation: drafting and revising plan documents, amendments, Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs), and Summaries of Material Modifications (SMMs)
- Fiduciary governance: advising plan committees and stakeholders on fiduciary duties, governance best practices, and prudent process
- Compliance and corrections: supporting audits, IRS and DOL correction programs (EPCRS, VCP, VFCP), and regulatory inquiries
- Claims and disputes: advising on ERISA claims and appeals procedures and complex participant disputes
- Regulatory monitoring: interpreting new laws and guidance (ACA, HIPAA, COBRA, Mental Health Parity, SECURE 2.0) and translating them into practical guidance for HR and benefits teams
What We're Looking For
- J.D. and active bar admission in at least one U.S. jurisdiction (in good standing)
- In-house and/or law firm experience in ERISA and employee benefits. Plan sponsor experience is a strong plus
- Experience with health and welfare plans, qualified retirement plans (401(k), defined benefit), or both
- Any level of post-qualification experience. We place attorneys from mid-level through 20+ year veterans, with 8+ years preferred for senior engagements
- Ability to explain complex benefits concepts clearly to HR, benefits, and business stakeholders
- Comfortable working independently and ramping quickly in a new organization
- Available for contract, interim, or project-based engagements (full-time or part-time, depending on the role)
- Based in the U.S. and able to work U.S. business hours
Why Entrusted Advisors

- Exposure to cutting-edge legal work with global brands
- Flexible and remote-friendly engagement structures
