What Trucker Huss does

Trucker Huss, APC is a privately held American professional law firm (professional corporation) founded in 1983 and headquartered in San Francisco, California. The firm operates three offices across the U.S. West Coast — San Francisco (headquarters, 135 Main Street, 9th Floor), Los Angeles (15760 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 910), and Portland (329 NE Couch Street, Suite 200) — and is described as one of the largest employee benefits law firms in the country, with a roster of 30+ attorneys practicing exclusively in employee benefits law. Its core domain is ERISA, retirement plans, multiemployer/Taft-Hartley plans, health and welfare plans, governmental and public sector union plans, executive compensation, HIPAA/ACA compliance, IRS/DOL correction programs, and ERISA litigation. The firm delivers its services through a single unified practice organized around 15 specialized practice areas spanning both transactional advisory (plan design, fiduciary consulting, M&A benefits diligence) and litigation (ERISA fiduciary duty, benefit denial, class actions, ESOP disputes).

Trucker Huss serves a diversified client base that includes Fortune 50 employers, large multiemployer plans, mid-sized and small employers, public sector union and association plans, plan fiduciaries, institutional trustees, other law firms (co-counsel relationships), benefits consulting firms, insurance brokers, accounting firms, and third party administrators. Revenue is generated through professional services billing, with rates and fees determined by attorney experience and matter complexity; pricing is quote-based, not publicly disclosed, and there is no external investor or parent-company ownership — the firm operates as an independent professional corporation.

The firm's go-to-market is relationship-driven, relying on attorney referrals, peer recognition, and a sustained thought-leadership program that includes a monthly Benefits Report newsletter, a regular webinar series (e.g., Spring ERISA Litigation Update, Benefits Briefing, Medicare/employer-plan sessions), and an extensive publications archive dating back to 2002. Trucker Huss has no proprietary technology, software products, or APIs; the underlying "platform" is the specialized legal expertise of its attorney roster. The firm is consistently recognized for excellence by Chambers USA (2026), U.S. News Best Law Firms (National and Regional Tier 1, 2025), Legal 500 (2025), Best Lawyers (2024), and Super Lawyers (2024).
