Anthony F. Shelley will be speaking at the American Conference Institute's (ACI's) 12th National Forum on ERISA Litigation on June 27, 2016. Shelley will present, as part of a panel, "ERISA Preemption post-Gobeille: Latest on Procedural and Substantive Aspects of the Defense." Panelists will discuss:

• The latest developments and litigation trends in ERISA preemption
• What claims are not preempted? What claims are ultimately expanding the universe of available remedies?
• Adequately raising and/or pleading both complete and ordinary preemption
• Nuances with regard to substantive preemption (under 514), complete preemption and removal (under 502), and defensive preemption
• Whether ERISA preempts and voids state law as applied to TPA for self-insured employee health plan
• Conflicts and reporting requirements
• The implications for states' ability to monitor healthcare markets
