Jake Miller

Jake is an Associate in the Firm’s Insurance practice group, where he helps clients navigate regulatory, licensing, contracting, and litigation matters, with a focus on the life, health, and disability benefits space.

Prior to starting law school, Jake worked for a pharmacy benefit management (“PBM”) service organization analyzing PBM contracts and claims data on behalf of self-funded employer health plans and their employee benefits consultants. Jake was named the MVP of the Commercial Excellence Department in his final year at the company. He now draws on that experience to advise clients on PBM licensing and regulatory requirements and on the negotiation of administrative services agreements with PBMs, third-party administrators (“TPAs”), and other benefits administrators and vendors.

That background also informs Jake’s litigation practice representing clients in claims arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), managed care disputes, and class action claims. His firsthand experience working with plan sponsors to evaluate and select benefit administrators gives him a practical understanding of the fiduciary decisions governed by ERISA. He has also litigated class action claims involving data breaches, privacy claims, sales practices and other statutory claims.

Jake earned his J.D. and an LL.M. in Health Law and Compliance from Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law. He earned his B.S. in Commerce and Business Administration from the University of Alabama, where he majored in Management Information Systems and minored in Computer Tech and Applications. As an undergraduate, Jake was a Presidential Scholar and a Member of the UA Honors College. He also volunteered through the READ Honors Program and Believe UA Mentoring.
