Pensions & Employee Benefits

Pension matters have never been so challenging. Our Pensions team uses its expert knowledge of pensions law to tackle issues around affordability, business survival, HR policy and retirement savings options.

Radical upheavals in the pensions industry, coupled with rapidly changing legislation and case law, present difficult choices for employers, trustees, scheme members and pension providers.

That is why our legal advice is always constructive and pragmatic, with a recognition that the decisions made today will have an impact on employers’ costs, scheme management and members’ lives for many years to come.

We are experienced in every area of pensions law and committed to helping you find solutions to the most complex legal problems.

It has never been more critical to provide our pensions clients with dedicated expertise from a range of legal disciplines. We work in combination with the Finance team (on the establishment of security structures), the Insolvency & Restructuring team (on distressed employer restructurings and scheme entry to the Pension Protection Fund) and the Commercial Property and Intellectual Property teams (on alternative asset funding structures) as well as the Family team (on matrimonial pension issues).
