AMM Law Partners and Estate Planning attorneys Michael Mills and Elaine Yandrisevits will present a continuing legal education program at the Bucks County Bar Association regarding updates to the SECURE Act 2.0 on Wednesday, November 1st at 12:30. The program will highlight the provisions of newly enacted changes to the original SECURE Act adopted in 2019 with the goal of expanding coverage and increasing retirement savings to help strengthen the retirement system—and Americans' financial readiness for retirement.

While SECURE 2.0 contains dozens of provisions, the highlights include increasing the age at which retirees must begin taking RMDs from IRA and 401(k) accounts, and changes to the size of catch-up contributions for older workers with workplace plans. Additional changes are meant to help younger people continue saving while paying off student debt, to make it easier to move accounts from employer to employer, and to enable people to save for emergencies within retirement accounts.
Mills and Yandrisevits both practice exclusively in Family Wealth Transfer Planning and Estate Administration.

Susan Maslow will participate as a virtual panelist at the upcoming regional GAIL (Global Alliance of Impact Lawyers) event on October 31st at Noon EST. This session will provide an introduction to the model contract clauses (MCCs) for use in international supply chains to address human rights abuses, explain the role of the Responsible Contracting Project out of Rutgers Law School in promoting and adapting the MCCs, and provide an overview of the recently launched book: Contracts for Responsible and Sustainable Supply Chains: Model Contract Clauses, Legal Analysis, and Practical Perspectives, edited by Susan A Maslow and David V Snyder.

This panel presents the American Bar Association’s Model Contract Clauses for Human Rights (MCCs), to guide companies and their counsel on achieving responsible sourcing throughout the global supply chains.

With burgeoning legislation, investor pressure, and consumer demand, responsible and sustainable supply chains are a high priority. The Model Contract Clauses (MCCs) are designed as a practical tool to help buyers and suppliers protect the human rights of workers in international supply chains. They include:

• a focus on the remediation of human rights harms over contractual remedies
  relational dispute resolution mechanisms
• an obligation of “responsible exit,” by buyers both generally and particularly with respect to force majeure or similar events
  buyers sharing contractual responsibility for protecting human rights with their suppliers and sub-suppliers
• a regime of human rights due diligence, requiring the parties to take appropriate steps to identify and mitigate human rights risks and to address adverse human rights impacts, instead of a typical regime of representations and warranties, with concomitant strict contractual liability

The session is open to all that register and will be useful for practitioners from across large and small law firms, in-house counsel, academia, NGOs, civil society and any others who may be interested in adapting, operationalizing and implementing the MCCs to protect human rights in supply chains.

Details and tickets available HERE.
