Erin Riley knows that strong relationships are key in complex cases. As a partner in Keller Rohrback’s Complex Litigation Group, Erin has allowed these collaborative and lasting relationships to inform her work for over 20 years.

Since 2001, Erin’s practice has focused on representing employees and retirees in Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) actions involving defined contribution, defined benefit, and health benefit plans. She has successfully litigated a number of ERISA breach of fiduciary duty cases, including cases filed against Washington Mutual, Merrill Lynch, and WorldCom.
Erin has worked on numerous ERISA-related articles and amicus briefs, and frequently speaks at employee benefits conferences. She has been actively involved with the Employee Benefits Law (Bloomberg-BNA) treatise since 2012 and currently serves as the lead editor, employee-side, of the Treatise.

Erin earned her J.D. from the University of Wisconsin, where she was an editor of the Wisconsin Law Review. Prior to joining Keller Rohrback as an attorney in 2000, she worked with the firm as a summer associate in 1999.
