The Boston ERISA & Insurance Litigation Blog, published by Stephen Rosenberg, focuses on legal issues related to ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) and insurance litigation. The blog covers topics such as fiduciary duties and breaches in retirement plans, insurance coverage disputes, bad faith claims against insurers, regulatory developments affecting ERISA plans, and litigation strategies for plan sponsors and fiduciaries. It also discusses emerging trends like the incorporation of alternative investments in 401(k) plans, challenges with required minimum distributions, and the impact of economic conditions on ERISA litigation. The blog provides analysis of case law, legislative proposals, and practical guidance for legal professionals and plan administrators.

I am continuing with the countdown of my top ten most popular blog or LinkedIn posts of 2025, and we have now made it all the way to number four. For those of you new to the countdown, you can…
This week’s Five Favorites is very ERISA heavy. Sometimes that’s just the way the world spins, as there is a lot going on with retirement plans and ERISA litigation, even at the Supreme Court. A lot of it touches on…
