Stacey C.S. Cerrone Named Leader of Jackson Lewis' ERISA Complex Litigation Group
NEW ORLEANS, LA (May 19, 2026) — Nationwide employment law firm Jackson Lewis P.C. is pleased to announce Principal Stacey C.S. Cerrone as leader of the firm’s ERISA Complex Litigation group. Stacey joined the firm in 2020 and was previously the office litigation manager in New Orleans. She has more than 20 years of experience in ERISA litigation.
“Stacey combines deep litigation experience with a strategic, client-focused approach,” said Stephanie L. Adler Paindiris, national litigation practice head. “She is exceptionally well suited to lead the ERISA Complex Litigation group, and her appointment reflects both her strong track record and our continued investment in this area.”
Stacey’s practice focuses on defending complex ERISA class actions involving public and private single-employer and multi-employer plans, as well as plan sponsors and fiduciaries. She has extensive experience litigating a broad range of matters, including 401(k) fee and investment loss claims, stock drop claims, forfeiture claims, and health and welfare plan claims.
As leader of the ERISA Complex Litigation group, Stacey will guide the national team in advising clients across all aspects of benefits, plan design and high-stakes litigation. The group works closely with the firm’s Class Actions and Complex Litigation team to deliver strategic, coordinated counsel on some of the most challenging and high-exposure matters facing employers today.
“ERISA litigation continues to evolve rapidly, presenting both significant risks and opportunities for employers,” said Stacey. “I am honored to lead a group that is deeply committed to delivering practical, forward-thinking solutions and strong advocacy for our clients. I look forward to building on the firm’s strong foundation and collaborating across practices to deliver comprehensive support to our clients.”
Stacey received her J.D. from Tulane University School of Law and her B.S. from Cornell University.
