This was a fun week if, like me, you enjoy reading about ERISA and insurance issues. There was a lot to pay attention to, but for purposes of this weekly post, I narrowed it down to articles on nuclear verdicts, cyber insurance, regulatory initiatives targeted at PBMs and drug pricing, the continued boom in ERISA

Boston ERISA and Insurance Litigation Blog’s Top Ten Countdown for the New Year – The Second Most Popular Post of 2025
In some ways, the second most popular post on my blog in 2025 was my favorite – and objectively likely my “best” – post of the year, in any venue.

Boston ERISA and Insurance Litigation Blog’s Top Ten Countdown for the New Year – The Fifth Most Popular Post of 2025

Five Favorites for Friday

Five Favorites for Friday
This week, I cheated. I have known since Tuesday that I wasn’t going to have time to either blog or post on LinkedIn this week on even a small portion of the articles, ideas, podcasts and presentations that were crossing my desk and catching my eye.
