Pensions

Our highly-rated pensions group deals with the full spectrum of issues affecting pension schemes and the companies which sponsor them, from day-to-day drafting of documentation to advising businesses and trustees on a wide variety of legal issues. We aim not only to provide first rate legal advice but also to seek practical solutions to problems.

We provide a full range of legal services in relation to pension schemes, as well as providing specialist support on transactions, litigation and insolvency matters. These include:

• advising trustees, employers and scheme administrators on legal issues arising from the operation of schemes
• advising in relation to funding deficits in defined benefit schemes and difficulties arising from the increased costs of financing them
• advising on risk and volatility management through benefit design
• advising on pension scheme reorganisations, mergers and wind-ups
• advising professional and regulatory bodies, such as the Faculty and Institute of Actuaries
• advising on public/private sector pensions issues
• a substantial pensions litigation practice.
