The AALS Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation Section has a call for papers touching on investment advice and retirement savings. There is so much going on on this front with the DOL getting ready to put its own gutted revamped fiduciary rule out, the new SEC Regulation Best Interest, and so many other things happening. Plus, with over 10,000 Boomers turning 65 each day, these issues will only get more and more attention in the years ahead.

The topic for this year’s Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation panel is:
The Road to Wellbeing: Navigating the Potholes to Lifetime Financial Security
Panel Description: Although traditional employer-provided retirement and health benefits provide a significant safety net during employment and beyond, many in the U.S. struggle to achieve a state of long-term financial and health stability. This panel brings together experts from diverse perspectives to address obstacles and possible solutions in the pursuit of individual wellbeing over time.
We welcome legal scholarship on any topic related to the panel topic, including employer-provided benefits, retirement security, Social Security, income disparity and poverty, and topics related to individual financial/investment advice and investor protections.
