"[A] federal court in Maryland ... [allowed] a group of class-action plaintiffs to continue their lawsuit challenging Lockheed Martin's decision to use Athene as the insurer for a pension risk transfer (PRT).... [K]ey takeaways: ...

[2] PRT claims might well be won or lost on the issue of standing.... [3] Plaintiffs are already experimenting with unfounded and aggressive allegations to overcome their standing problem." [Konya v. Lockheed Martin Corp., No. 24-0750 (D. Md. Mar. 28, 2025); Camire v. Alcoa U.S.A. Corp., No. 24-1062 (D.D.C. Mar. 28, 2025)]  MORE >>
