Kantor & Kantor, LLP hires on Scott M. Lempert, Esq. as one of their new partners for 2022

NORTHRIDGE, Calif., April 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kantor & Kantor, LLP is pleased to welcome the addition of  Scott M. Lempert to the law firm.

"Class action pension litigation under ERISA is nationwide in scope. Scott Lempert is located in Philadelphia and has 20 years of experience with this kind of litigation. We are extremely pleased that Scott has joined our firm and will support and develop our efforts in this area," said Elizabeth Hopkins, the head of the pension group.

Scott's exemplary career with Cohen Milstein as a member of the firm's Employee Benefits (ERISA) Practice Group brings expertise in representing the interests of employees and retirees in ERISA cases in Federal district court and on appeal. Mr. Lempert has over 20 years of experience litigating complex commercial class actions on behalf of employees, retirees, and consumers in retiree benefits, employment, consumer protection and antitrust matters.

Scott has engaged in litigating several complex ERISA class actions, including cases involving selection, retention and monitoring of underperforming and expensive 401(k) plan investments by conflicted employers, as well as cutting-edge legal cases asserting that many non-profit healthcare systems in the United States wrongfully claim their benefit plans are exempt from ERISA regulation under the church plan exemption.

Scott came to Kantor & Kantor after following the work of Elizabeth Hopkins and Sue Meter in the firm's ERISA pension practice since it began a few years ago and jumped at the chance to join them. "I am very excited to work with these two talented litigators and continue building this practice area to prominence while continuing my work protecting the retirement savings of America's workers." said Mr. Lempert.

You can reach Mr. Lempert via email at [email protected] or call our Northridge, California main office at (818) 886-2525.
