I am Robert Wood, a Principal at the Greenville, South Carolina office of Jackson Lewis P.C. I have been with the firm since May 2000, focusing primarily on ERISA benefits litigation. In addition to ERISA, I also have experience in employment litigation and OSHA defense work. My practice is dedicated to defending employers, plans, plan sponsors, insurers, and other ERISA entities. Throughout my career, I have represented numerous corporate clients in over 400 cases, including class actions, interpleaders actions, single plaintiff benefit actions, and breach of fiduciary duty actions. I have been specially admitted pro hac vice in 24 states for ERISA litigation. Before joining Jackson Lewis P.C., I worked as a staff attorney for the South Carolina Supreme Court from 1991 to 1993. I then transitioned to the Office of General Counsel of the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation (LLR), where I prosecuted OSHA matters until 1997. Subsequently, I handled professional licensure disciplinary actions for various state boards, such as the State Board of Medical Examiners and the State Residential Builders Commission. Prior to pursuing a legal career, I spent a decade in corporate staff management roles at Southern Bell, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, and BellSouth Corporation. My responsibilities included materials management and budget forecasting. Overall, my diverse background and extensive experience in ERISA benefits litigation make me a valuable asset to clients seeking legal representation in Greenville, South Carolina.
