  • Protecting Your Firm's Top Talent: Executive Benefits and Disability Insurance
    Sep 17 2025

    Are your firm's top earners actually uninsured? This eye-opening episode reveals a critical gap that most law firms don't even know exists.

    Host Alan Wilson from GLJ Benefit Consultants sits down with Dolce Sutton, Regional Director of Executive Benefits at Principal Financial Group, to uncover why partners and high earners at law firms are often left vulnerable despite having "comprehensive" disability coverage.

    Discover the shocking math: how a typical group long-term disability plan that covers "60% of income up to $15,000" actually leaves anyone earning over $300,000 dramatically underinsured. Dolce breaks down the real-world implications when disability strikes and shares practical solutions for identifying at-risk employees and implementing proportionate executive benefits.

    Key insights include:

    • Why 1 in 4 25-year-olds will face disability during their career
    • The hidden tax implications of group disability benefits
    • How to calculate your firm's coverage gaps in minutes
    • Cost-effective strategies for protecting your rainmakers

    Whether you're an HR director, managing partner, or benefits consultant, this episode provides actionable steps to ensure your most valuable employees—and your firm—are truly protected when it matters most.
