Pensions
Pensions issues are high profile and are a key concern in terms of managing both employee relations and company risks. We provide a dedicated and partner-led pensions law service advising employers and trustees of schemes varying in size from £1 million to over £4 billion.
We build strong, durable relationships with our clients in order to understand and address their issues in a comprehensive and coherent way. We advise on all aspects of pensions law including scheme documentation and general advisory work, scheme mergers and wind-ups, executive benefits, investment management and custodianship, dispute resolution and High Court litigation, as well as trustee training, administration and governance. We also work in collaboration with M&A specialists in our corporate teams where pensions can often play a significant part in corporate transactions, employing advisory and clearance expertise to ensure acquisitions and disposals proceed smoothly.
Against a fast-evolving legislative environment, we offer sound legal knowledge combined with a commercial edge to guide our clients through the legal maze. We can help you to manage the new risks and capitalise on the opportunities for flexibility in retirement provision that the new environment has created.
