Erin M. Sweeney is a partner in DLA Piper’s Washington, DC office and works across the full range of employee benefits questions employers face. Her advisory practice covers Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliance, mental health parity, transparency, health privacy and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), welfare benefit claims, health insurance continuation (COBRA), and benefit plan administration under Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). She also handles U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audits and investigations, and she counsels and represents parties in litigation over fiduciary obligations — plan investments, fee disclosure, and prohibited transactions and exemptions. Post-retirement medical benefits and the employee benefits provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) round out her advice.
