Veteran DOL attorney joins firm

Stris & Maher LLP is proud to announce the expansion of its award-winning ERISA litigation practice with the addition of Jeff Hahn as a partner. Hahn’s arrival strengthens the firm’s leading ERISA practice (ranked Band 1 by Chambers USA in the publication’s nationwide “Mainly Plaintiffs” category) and reaffirms its commitment to representing plaintiffs in high-stakes pension and healthcare disputes.

Hahn brings over two decades of experience as a civil litigator and appellate advocate, including more than 12 years with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). At the DOL, he led the ERISA appellate program, litigated complex cases that advanced the interests of American workers, and played a pivotal role in shaping fiduciary practices nationwide. 

“Joining Stris & Maher is an exciting opportunity to work alongside some of the most talented ERISA litigators in the country,” said Hahn. “I’m eager to contribute to the firm’s mission of securing justice for plaintiffs in complex pension and healthcare disputes.”

Stris & Maher is renowned for its pension and healthcare litigation expertise. In the past year alone, the firm has recovered nearly $100 million for clients in ERISA cases throughout America.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Jeff,” said partner Radha Pathak, an ERISA expert who recently joined the board of the Pension Rights Center. “Jeff’s many years of experience at the DOL, especially in litigating fiduciary breach and pension plan mismanagement cases, make him an exceptional addition to our pension practice.”

“Jeff’s deep ERISA expertise enhances our ability to tackle some of the most challenging healthcare litigation in the country,” added partner Mike Donofrio, former general counsel of Vermont’s Green Mountain Care Board, a first-of-its-kind healthcare regulatory agency created under the state’s 2011 reform law. “From the Affordable Care Act to the Medicare Secondary Payer Act and False Claims Act, we’re seeing increasingly complex disputes across the healthcare landscape—and Jeff will help us meet that challenge.”
