Pridgen Bassett Law, LLC focuses its law practice on employment litigation in the federal courts. Pridgen Bassett Law has handled, in some capacity, nearly every type of employment law matter that exists, including ERISA/employee benefits, FLSA/wage and hour, employment contracts, employment discrimination, retaliation, harassment, unemployment, FMLA, etc. We sub-specialize in ERISA litigation, and have litigated scores of ERISA benefits claims and fiduciary cases throughout the country. Pridgen Bassett Law's partners developed this expertise in ERISA Litigation while at Alston + Bird, one of the premier law firms in the country with ERISA Litigation specialists, where they litigated numerous class actions and other complex litigation involving employee pension and welfare benefit claims. They have continued their focus on ERISA since then, including at some of Atlanta's most well-respected firms. We write and speak often on ERISA/employment litigation topics; the titles of the publications and speaking engagements appear in the publications section below. Pridgen Bassett Law's attorneys also enjoy assisting executives and key employees navigate the waters of transitioning out of old and into new employment relationships, with all of their attendant issues (including, for instance, negotiating severance or other benefits, and drafting/negotiating new employment terms, etc.). In addition to their active employment law practice, Pridgen Bassett Law's attorneys maintain their commitment to giving back to the community by handling many low-cost or pro bono adoptions, both for private individuals and through Atlanta Legal Aid’s Grandparent/ Relative Adoption Project.
