NAIFA Webinar: A Conversation About the Courts
August 8 | 12 pm eastern

A federal court has granted a stay in the lawsuit NAIFA, several NAIFA chapters, ACLI, and other partners filed to stop the Department of Labor from implementing its fiduciary-only rule. The stay means the DOL rule will not go into effect in September, giving the court more time to consider NAIFA's lawsuit. Furthermore, the court stated that NAIFA's lawsuit is "virtually certain to succeed on the merits." 

Join us for an important webinar that will explain what the stay means for financial professionals and your clients. Our panelists will also discuss other recent court rulings, including Supreme Court decisions overturning the Chevron Doctrine (Loper v. Raimondo), sidestepping the constitutionality of taxing unrealized income (Moore v. US), and narrowing buy-sell agreement tax benefits (Connelly v. United States). 

Joining the discussion will be: 

  • Doug Massey, NAIFA's President Elect whose declaration in the NAIFA lawsuit was cited in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas's stay decision.
  • Scott Sinder, a Partner at the law firm Steptoe 
  • Michael Gerber, NAIFA's Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel
  • Diane Boyle, NAIFA's Senior Vice President for Government Relations
  • Jayne Fitzgerald, NAIFA's Director for Government Relations

This webinar is open to NAIFA members and non-members. Please encourage all to attend.
