Such mandatory age-based retirement policies are usually deemed to violate the ADA unless you can show a clear connection to the requirement and job safety/business necessity. This is a very difficult standard and has been upheld in few professions such as pilots. I work with many companies to develop various policies and would be happy to speak with you regarding your company's goals and policy development.
