The complexity and long evolution of UK pensions law can inevitably give rise to disputes.
We use our expertise and insight to deliver practical and effective solutions across a range of issues.
Our Pensions & Employee Benefits team advises on all types of pension disputes, ranging from initial complaints under a pension scheme’s internal dispute resolution procedure (“IDRP”) to matters heard by the Pensions Ombudsman or in the High Court.
We understand that pension provision can be an emotive issue for members. Disputes can arise over the interpretation of documents, drafting errors, contractual obligations or failure to adhere to policy documents and legislation. That’s why we combine technical expertise and commercial thinking to offer practical and thoughtful solutions that match our clients’ needs.
Avoiding costly litigation is a priority. We help corporate sponsors and trustees mitigate this through a combination of pragmatic advice, skilled negotiation and careful communication.
We also have experience in various dispute resolution forums that seek to avoid matters ending up in court.
