Like many, I took some time off over the holidays. Unlike many, who used the time to do fun things like go skiing, I used the time to sit down with three fingers of my favorite small batch craft brewery bourbon and write a top ten list for my blog. Here, without further ado, is

My Exclusive Interview with Fiduciary News on ERISA Litigation
The good people at Fiduciary News gave me a soapbox, and I was happy to climb up on it. They interviewed me as part of their series of monthly interviews on ERISA and related topics, and I discussed ERISA litigation and a wide range of related issues. You can find the “Exclusive Interview: ERISA Attorney…

Changing Firms, and a Brief Note on the Right of Service Providers to Make a Profit
By Stephen Rosenberg on
So, some of you may have noticed a change on the masthead at the top of this blog, which notes that I am now at the Wagner Law Group , in its Boston office. It has been a pleasure litigating ERISA and business disputes for the past nearly quarter century at the McCormack Firm, but…
Can You Avoid Being Investigated by the Department of Labor?
By Stephen Rosenberg on
Posted in People are Talking . . .
I think pretty highly of the Department of Labor when it comes to ERISA governed plans, and feel they do a pretty good job across the board. That doesn’t mean, though, that you want to be investigated by them if you are a plan sponsor. It’s a little like being audited by the IRS &ndash…
Me, Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly and Gross v. Sun Life
Eric Berkman’s article in this week’s Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly on Gross v. Sun Life, in which I am quoted, does an excellent job of explaining the case, particularly to those readers who do not have years of experience with ERISA cases, benefit litigation, or the long history of the law in this circuit…

By Stephen Rosenberg on
Posted in People are Talking . . .
I am, for a change, flabbergasted and struck dumb: most people who know me will tell you I am seldom either. Luck, though, just landed me on ERISA Pundit, Warren von Schleicher’s well-written and insightful blog. Warren’s writing reminds me of a dirty, not really secret, secret about lawyers, especially litigators, which is that all…
Once Again, a LexisNexis Top Law Blog
By Stephen Rosenberg on
Posted in People are Talking . . .
Some fun news to pass on today, which is that this blog has been named a LexisNexis top law blog for the third year running. Although I have certainly never made a Shermanesque proclamation against doing so, I have never campaigned for votes in the various top blog competitions out there, which makes recognition of…
Interview in Fiduciary News
By Stephen Rosenberg on
Posted in Fiduciaries, People are Talking . . .
I have written before, on many occasions, about the evolving nature of fiduciary status, and in particular on the shifting regulatory landscape in this regard. Here is an interview I gave to Fiduciary News on the latest proposed Department of Labor regulatory change concerning the meaning of the word fiduciary in the ERISA context. If…
The Envelope, Please . . .
By Stephen Rosenberg on
Posted in People are Talking . . .
Funny that I referenced the Oscar Awards the other day in a post, as I just found out this blog has been nominated as a top insurance blog by LexisNexis. You know how all the Oscar nominees who don’t win always say its an honor just to be nominated? I never believe them…
